On November 18, 2019, Major Peter Mugure, a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) officer, was dismissed from his military post following his connection to the gruesome murder of his wife, Joyce Syombua, and their two children, Shanice Maua, 10, and Prince Michael, 5.
According to reports, Mugure was presented before the military court in Nanyuki at around 7 a.m. and was discharged to allow for a trial in a civilian court.
As of that morning, Mugure was under the custody of Nanyuki DCI boss, Jacob Mureithi, ahead of being arraigned at the Nanyuki Law Courts.
The three bodies were found buried in a shallow grave within Thingithu Estate in Nanyuki, after the arrest of Major Peter Mugure on Saturday, November 16, 2019.
