Police in Murang’a are currently on a manhunt for a 28-year-old man who is suspected of murdering his two young children, aged 3 and 7.

The tragic incident occurred at Ndikwe Mugo wa Nyoni village in Kiharu.

According to reports, Evans Kang’ethe allegedly used a sharp object to carry out this gruesome act.

Neighbors were alerted by the children’s screams and rushed to the scene, only to discover their lifeless bodies on a sofa set inside the house. The locals found a blood-stained object at the crime scene.

Murang’a crime scene experts processed the area and subsequently moved the bodies to Murang’a Level 5 Hospital Mortuary for preservation and further examination through an autopsy.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the man and his wife had been embroiled in a dispute over family matters, leading to the wife leaving their marital home a week ago.
