On June 30, a man's body fell from a Kenya Airways flight into a garden in an affluent London suburb, sparking a search for his identity.
Paul Manyasi, the alleged stowaway victim, was identified through a Sky News investigation, with his parents, Isaac and Janet, coming forward to claim him as their son.
However, in a shocking twist, Isaac Manyasi has now come out to deny claims that Paul is his son, stating that the photo shown to him is not of his son and that his son left home in 2016 to live in Nairobi.
Speaking to KTN News on Wednesday, Isaac denied that Paul was his son, saying,
“He is not my son, I told them the photo they showed me is not of my son, My son left home in 2016 for Nairobi,” Isaac said.
Isaac, who hails from Kakamega, stated that he has not spoken to his son since July 2017 and that Sky News interviewed him on the matter.
He added that his son was not called Paul Manyasi but Cedrick Shivanji and that he is planning to leave for Nairobi this Friday.
