An 89-year-old woman became the center of attention after a man allegedly conned her out of KSh 1,000—money that had been sent to her by her grandson—only for him to die moments later under unclear circumstances.
According to reports, the elderly woman had just received the money through mobile transfer, sent by her grandson to help her with basic needs.

As she struggled to withdraw the cash, a young man approached her, offering assistance. Trusting him due to her age and vulnerability, she handed over her phone and details.
Within minutes, the man disappeared with the money, leaving her confused and helpless.
The distressed woman later narrated that she felt a deep sense of betrayal, especially because the money was meant to sustain her for days.
