Man Kills Two Children, Commits Suicide in Makueni

A devastating incident occurred in Matiliku, Makueni, where a 50-year-old man took the lives of his two sons before ending his own life.

Police discovered the three bodies early Monday morning. The tragedy appears to be connected to a domestic dispute with the man’s estranged wife, with whom he had separated, leaving him to care for the children.

The man was found dead with a severe throat wound, and an empty poison container was located beside him.

The bodies of the 16-year-old and 9-year-old boys were found nearby, both with throat slashes inflicted by a panga.

The murder weapon and a suicide note were also recovered at the scene.

The bodies have been taken to the mortuary for autopsies, and an investigation into the murder-suicide is underway. Neighbors reported ongoing domestic issues between the couple prior to the wife leaving months ago.
