William Balfour, the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister Julia, was accused of killing his in-laws in October 2008 and then hiding his stepson’s body to try to cover his crimes. It was three days before the boy’s desperate mother and aunt learned that he was also dead and not just held captive. “This was a vicious, cold-blooded, inhumane execution of three people, including a seven-year-old boy who just happened to be home from school,” State Attorney Anita Alvarez told reporters. “We are very, very happy with the verdict.” Jennifer Hudson declined to speak to reporters after the verdict, but Alvarez said the entire family was relieved and grateful.

Eldoret North MP William Ruto has scoffed at reports that he may be rejoining ODM soon after talks with party leader Raila Odinga. Ruto and his party supporters said they moved from ODM and will never look back. He said the only partnership they can form with ODM is “if ODM joins URP in forming the next government and not the other way round”. “When we embarked on a journey from the ODM, we took with us all our belongings including goats, cows and even chicken,” said Ruto in Mombasa at the weekend. Ruto and Dujis MP Adan Duale said they are building the URP on strong family values, the foundation of development in any country.

Third and fourth place is not an option for us right now,” Ocholla said
