In a similar occurrence that happened in Kenya, a man identified as James Kioho, 32, stabbed to death his son and daughter aged seven and two, respectively, in the chest before he attempted to commit suicide by taking poison.

Neighbours said the inhuman act was triggered by a quarrel with his wife, whom he had left at their rural home in Naromoru, Laikipia county

It is unclear what caused the quarrel between Kioho and his wife.

“I met him on his way to the shops and he greeted me and wished me happy holidays. The kids were in the house playing and laughing. No one would have suspected he was planning to commit such a heinous act,” neighbour Julius Mullei said.
