A father and his two children were found dead in their home in Rongai on Wednesday, June 7.
The bodies of Amos Kirwa, 35, and his children, aged 10 and 12, were found by a neighbor who had gone to check on them after they had not been seen for several days.
Kirwa had returned to Kenya three weeks ago from Qatar, where he had been searching for work. He had been unemployed for several months and was reportedly struggling to make ends meet.
The police believe that Kirwa and his children were killed on Monday, June 5. There were no signs of forced entry into the house, which suggests that the killer or killers knew Kirwa and his family.
The police have arrested Kirwa's wife, Mary Wanjiru, for questioning. Wanjiru has denied any involvement in the killings.
The police are still investigating the motive for the murders. They are also trying to determine if Kirwa's unemployment or any other financial problems may have played a role in the killings.
The community in Rongai is in shock over the killings. The police have increased patrols in the area in an effort to reassure residents and prevent any further violence.
Anyone with information about the killings is asked to contact the police.
