Police in Kahuro, Murang’a County have launched a manhunt for a suspected killer mother who stabbed her two children, killing one instantly.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Nancy Munjiro, 21, stabbed her two sons (a four-year-old and a two-year-old) on Sunday afternoon at her mother’s house in Kianjogo village.
“In the bizarre incident that left locals astounded, Nancy Munjiro turned the knife against her little angels at their grandmother’s house, spilling their intestines before attempting suicide,” DCI said in a statement.
The area Assistant Chief Lucy Muthoni Kimani told police that the suspect had visited her mother, who lives with the two kids, over the festive season.
Munjiro has been working as househelp in Kiriaini area of Kahuro and was yet to report back to her place of work for unknown reasons.
“What the kids’ grandmother hoped would be a precious bonding moment between mother and sons as she stepped out of her house in the morning, turned to be the darkest day of her life.
“She only came back to find her house turned into a murder scene, her grandchildren soaked in blood and sprawled on the floor,” DCI added.
The injured boy was rushed to Muriranjas Hospital before being referred to Murang’a County Hospital in serious condition.
Police who visited the scene also found a rope hanging from the roof, suspecting that the Munjiro might have attempted suicide before fleeing.
