Shock as Nairobi Woman Brutally Kills Husband, Two Children Before Committing Suicide
Residents of Nairobi's Thome Estate were left in shock after a 32-year-old woman killed her husband and two children before committing suicide.
Joyce Wanjiru allegedly killed her husband Joseph Gitau, 38, using an axe. She later strangled their two kids before hanging herself.
While confirming the incident, area Nyumba Kumi chairman Geoffrey Mwangi said the couple was embroiled in recurrent domestic disputes.
He said Gitau had on several occasions reported to him about being beaten by his wife.
Preliminary investigations showed the man was killed in his sleep, as he was found lying dead on the bed when police officers arrived.
Their bodies were discovered on Tuesday after Gitau's friends failed to reach him through the phone.
“His phone was not going through and his wife’s phone was not being answered,” his friend Paul Ndung'u said.
Family members said Gitau had paid his wife’s dowry in a colorful event attended by friends and relatives two months ago.
Their bodies were taken to City Mortuary as investigations into the incident continue.

When life becomes too much it is okay to take your own life because even twins did not arrive together either one was born before or later however when you decide to take others with you especially the children who cannot choose their parents in advance there surely must be a devil waiting for you on the other side.No one has a right to take another with them to the next world suicide is a cowardly act then you want wasindikizi ultimate cowardice did you ask them first before you killed them.Marriage fails move on if children are a burden drop them off somewhere alive .Just because you bore them does not mean you have a right to take them with you to hell or wherever murderers go after death.

This is what happens when we stop being our brothers keeper,and wanting the village to take no part in raising our kids.Societal mores,and culture deteriorate,and people are left to their own devices.
This hacking of each other is happening with alarming frequency and society does not seem to care.
Iam not an expert on marriage matters,but one thing I know is that when you have recurrent domestic disputes,it is abad sign,and if the issues are not resolved,what happened could be one of the more likely option.
Yes @ Formerly guest2 "why can't someone just walk away".But please walk away as soon as you see the danger signs.Not until matters reach"critical Mass" then you tell your partner your are leaving.That's suicidal.Some people cannot take the heat.Leave when the water is just tepid.That way you wont get scorched.
