Esther Arunga, a former TV anchor, has received support from her former Kenya High School classmates as she navigates a court case in Australia related to the death of her three-year-old son, Sinclair.
On July 16, 2019, Arunga confessed to lying to police about the circumstances surrounding Sinclair's death, sparking a mix of reactions from her fans and friends.
Her former schoolmates, now known as 'Bomarians,' have come to her defense, sharing fond memories of Arunga's time at Kenya High School.
Jean Ayacko, a Facebook user and former classmate, initiated the support campaign, recalling Arunga's academic and extracurricular achievements.
"Calling on all Ex Bomarians and my friends to help me stand in the gap for Esther Arunga," Ayacko wrote. "She was very smart, an 'A' student, and not just that, she was fun, eloquent, just living her life like any high school student."
Others, including Rister Blessed Mum, Lynette Simba, Sarah Akwabi, Akinyi Awour, and Peggy Kamanda, joined in, expressing their support for Arunga and praying for her well-being.
