The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives in Murang’a, Kenya, have launched a manhunt for a suspected killer mother identified as Nancy Munjiro, for stabbing two of her children, killing one instantly.
The incident happened on Sunday afternoon, January 9, at Kianjogo village in Kahuro as the 21-year-old single mother of two boys, aged 4 and 2, turned the knife against her children at their grandmother’s residence, spilling their intestines on the ground and went further to commit suicide.
Ms. Lucy Muthoni Kimani, the area assistant chief, told detectives that Munjiro, worked as a house help in the Kiriaini area of Kahuro, and on the said date, visited her mother (who lives with the two kids) over the festive season, and was yet to report back to her place of work for unknown reasons.
According to Munjiro’s Mum, she had hoped that they’d stay together will help them bond together, so she stepped out of the house, only to come back and find her house has been turned into a crime scene with her grandchildren soaked in their own blood.
Sadly, the two-year-old had already died but the older boy had a faint pulse. He was rushed to Muriranjas hospital before being referred to Murang’a County hospital in serious condition.
The policemen who visited the crime scene also found a rope hanging from the roof.
They however concluded that the perpetrator might have attempted suicide before fleeing.
