A Kakamega family has denied a report by a British television station, SKY,  that its firstborn could be the man who fell from a  KQ plane in the United Kingdom.

It is an about-turn from when they were shown the e-fit photo produced by the London Metropolitan police and the images of the stowaway’s personal belongings — confirming to an investigative journalist that they belonged to their son.

The family has told  Standard Digital that their son is Centrick Shivonje and not Paul Manyasi as was extensively reported by Sky TV yesterday.“My brother could be alive and they got the names of my parents’ and village wrong,” Brian Beti told us.

The plane was flying from Nairobi to Heathrow when a body fell into the garden in south London’s Clapham suburb. The stowaway fell about 3,500 feet, his body creating a mini crater on impact.

Sky TV’s John Sparks reported the names of the stowaway’s parents as Isaac Manyasi and Janet Manyasi. Brian says his parents are Isaac Beti and Janet Khakali.“He last posted on Facebook in July yet the man they were reporting about fell from the plane on June 30,” Brian added.

Asked if the family had contacted their son, Brian says he often changed phone numbers and it was hard to get hold of him.

“Someone has told dad that he was last seen at Kibera Law Courts,” he said, adding that his father was preparing to travel to Nairobi to authenticate the information.Isaac told KTN News’ Willy Lusige that he had not spoken to his son since July 2017. He added that his son left Kakamega for Nairobi in 2016.
