In an incident that has left residents of Haraka village, Kinangop in Nyandarua County dumb founded and in a somber mood, a father of two went berserk early today and mutilated his son using a machete before he committed suicide. Apparently the man killed his son because he witnessed him defiling his 17 year old sister.
Trouble unraveled on Friday night when his wife went for kesha (night vigil prayers) at a church in the area. Her husband came home late and went to his daughter’s room where he defiled her.
The girl’s screams alerted her sleeping brother who stormed into the room and found his father mounting on his sister. The following day he told his mother about the incident and they went to Haraka police post and reported the incident yesterday.
His father who works as a boda boda operator got wind on that police officers were looking for him and stormed home to find his daughter and son. He took the machete and cut his son into pieces.
His daughter escaped death by a whisker as she escaped through the kitchen door.
According to the OCPD Engineer Samson Munyao the scene of the incident looks like a scene from hell as blood decorated the house and pieces of the boy’s body lay all over the house.
House items were also smeared with blood. His wife who got a call from his daughter fainted when she entered the house; her husband had hanged himself at their bedroom.
The bodies have been taken to Naivasha District Hospital and the girl is undergoing medication at the same hospital.
