Diana Cherop is inconsolable after learning of her son's gruesome death in the neighbourhood.
Cherop had been desperately searching for Brighton for three weeks without a breakthrough.
She had even asked the alleged suspect, who reportedly abducted her son, if he had seen the little boy.
"I asked him, 'Has Brighton come here?' It was his mother who answered, saying, 'No.' I asked if Kathwana had been seen around, and she said the kids have not been there," Cherop said.
What was missing from Brighton's body?
The heartbroken woman said the suspect's family denied any knowledge of her missing son, despite her probing them in their home.
The body of the little boy was later found in a maize plantation, with some organs missing, as noted by a resident.
"There was no liver or kidney," the man painfully said, expressing his frustration over the inhumane incident.
Out of frustration, the locals proceeded to torch the houses belonging to the alleged suspect involved in the death of the seven-year-old.

Residents said other children had disappeared under similar mysterious circumstances, sparking outrage.
They also decried the presence of foreigners in the area, suggesting they could be involved in the disappearances and ultimate deaths of their children in what they allege to be a syndicate.
Another woman came forward to speak about her missing child, who had yet to be found after disappearing.

"My child went missing on Sunday, June 1. It has been like that until today—I have not found my child," she said, heartbroken.
Despite repeated complaints, residents claim the government has failed to take any meaningful action.
Kapenguria Deputy County Commissioner Emily Ogola urged the residents to remain calm, assuring them that investigations were already underway.
She promised that house-to-house searches would be conducted in collaboration with local chiefs to identify and arrest the culprits.
