Meet Rebekah O’Brien, A British Lady Who Moved To Kenya To Marry A Maasai Man Before She Got Accused Of Killing The Man’s 1st Wife And Getting A Baby With His Teenage Son! (Photos)

Rebekah O’Brien a 26 year old British national met and fell in love with 40 year old  Rempesa Ole Kirkoya a village butcher back in 2012 at the Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich in 2012.

Rempesa had gone to England to perform with his Maasai warrior group and that is when Rebekah got smitten.

After chatting with Rempesa for some time, she moved to Kenya back in January 2013 as he fell in love with the Maasa’s way of life.

What she didn’t expect was that Rempesa was married and that they lived in a tin hut in Kisames where Rebekah claimed that there was no running water or electricity.

She says that Rempesa’s wife (Joyce) was very okay with the relationship and even acted as a translator since Rebekah did not speak Kiswahili and Rempesa did not speak English.

Soon after she moved in, Rempesa’s first wife overdosed on drugs and Rebekah was accused by the villagers of killing the first wife .The villagers heatedly claimed that Rebekah’s decision to move in with Rempesa had led to Joyce’s health deteriorating and the overdose.

Despite the hostile opposition for the villagers, Rebekah had a baby with Rempesa but they broke out as she neared her due date. She moved back to England and gave birth to a daughter named Arya who died about one and a half months later.

A broken-hearted Rebekah soon moved back to Kenya and that is when she hooked up with Rempesa’s 19 year old son Lawrence. They got intimate and she recently gave birth to their first-born son named Koito.

However she is not sure that Koito and Lawrence will have a healthy father son-relationship

‘I want Lawrence to be in his life, but I fear he sees me more as his mother than his girlfriend. I suppose it didn’t help that I was basically his stepmom before we got together.’ She told the Mirror.

Following this story on UK News outlets including the Daily Mail, many of her countrymen have reacted with hostility and told her to go back to Kenya instead of leeching on the Tax-payers money to take care of her illegitimate child.

Here are some of the comments:

Bugsy, Malaga, United Kingdom: Why don’t you go back to Kenya and raise your child there. The British taxpayer is fed up of supporting women who have babies and their father is not around.

Sceptic25, Rochford, United Kingdom: Yes ! Loves the Maasai way of life, but returns here to use the NHS maternity services, and will no doubt be housed free and given an income to live on courtesy of UK Tax Payers ! Please go back to Kenya and live off their benefits, you are a liability here !

belt1000, Welwyn, United Kingdom: Wife dying, sleeping with son. Jeremy Kyle material. Very classy.

MrsG, London, United Kingdom: Oh what an idiot! So sick of paying for people to churn out children!
