Growing up, Melikizedeki Laban always disobeyed his parents and mixed with the wrong crowd, something that would lead him to early exposure to drugs and, finally, drop out of school at Standard 7.
Now aged 37, jobless and without a family of his own, he is set to begin a 25-year jail term after he killed his mother for refusing to give him money for bhang at their home in Vihiga in June 2019.
