On Sunday evening, a gruesome incident occurred at a home in Taru, Kinango, Kwale County, where a 54-year-old man allegedly killed his two daughters, aged five and seven, by slitting their throats.
The victims, Parelian Nduki Maingi and Maratina Maingi, were found in a pool of blood in their home, with deep cuts in their necks.
According to police reports, the man's wife, Bridget Ndunge Muema, had run away from the home after a heated argument with her husband, fearing for her life.
Police have launched a manhunt for the suspect, who is said to have differed with his wife over domestic affairs.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a 28-year-old man, Abdul Majid Nagib, is expected to be charged with the murder of his 69-year-old father, Nagis Abdfalah Fateh, who was found stuffed in a sack under the bed in their home in Bondeni, Mombasa.
Fateh, a retired military officer who also served in the United Arab Emirates, had been missing since December 17 last year, and his body was discovered on December 20.
Nagib was arrested in Juja, Kiambu County, and was later ferried back to Mombasa, where he is expected to face charges in court.
