“So My kid brother had the opportunity to live a very comfortable life with Abel at his house but he chose to live a basic life with me since my dad is a retired civil servant who relocated to Ushago,”.
“It was at this point that he was done with school and so somehow things weren't working according to how he'd hoped for so he became ill with mental health issues.
"ND since nlimfunza mpaka sherehe it did help matters and so he sunk into depression. I'd come to visit him napata he's sleeping na black stanaz, for kitu 2 months amelala na Gogos so I looked for a few friends of his nkawauliza if they've noticed sth with Rapho wakanishow your bro nkama nastep..meaning Ako karibu kuwachilia,”
“I got a distress call from my Dad Telling me kuwa Rapho amemtwist mkono waakangushana chini because my dad wanted to get a sling bag on his neck which had a few drugs.
"So my mind went back to the Machakos level 5 test which said Rafo was in a good state of mind..so it occurred to me kuwa he knew what he was doing...so | felt at that state we might have to bury my dad at 70,”
“So I went to ushago April 21st, 2020 ata sikusalimia watu nili go physical on my bro for the first time in my life I can swear this before God and he apologized and we shook hands tukasema I should never get such a call ever in history,” Jesse explained.
“My bro still refused to be rehabilitated so I still took a taxi Hadi ushago to our dad...and I delivered the boy to my dad's hands but I gave the two of them instructions.
“I should never ever be called on matters related to Rapho the only call I'll pick is the day he'll tell me he's ready for rehabilitation...bila hyo ata musijisumbue and we shook hands that day and it's the last time I spoke to rafo until now recently when I got a call from Dad asking me to come with policemen and collect the lifeless body of my brother
“So as for violence, I Admit!!! but that's not violence but it was kurekebisha makosa as his 2nd parent, remember I was the only one living with Rhafo
"Did I do it for anger? No, I was trying to rekebisha kosa
"Did u love your brother? Absolutely, if this ain't love, then I don't know what's Love Do u regret anything? Absolutely Not, I did my best but it wasn't enough.
