On Wednesday evening, a shocking incident unfolded in Rongai, Kajiado County, where a former MCA, Richard Muchesia, took his own life and that of his wife in a bizarre double tragedy.

The incident occurred just a day after a woman brutally killed her husband and two children before committing suicide, leaving many to wonder if domestic issues were a common thread in these tragic events.

According to Geoffrey Mwangi, the area's Nyumba Kumi Chairman, the couple had reportedly been experiencing domestic issues, which he had helped them resolve in the past.

However, it remains unclear what led to the heinous incident on this particular night, as the couple's neighbours discovered the bodies and condemned the tragic event.
