    That child's father should be investigated. In many cases like this one it is the father who commit the murder

    Yea, the closest people people are usually the first suspect. In this case the husband.But why Kill the 10 months old? Whoever did it is an animal...I would not surprised if the motive was something to do with love gone sour.Probably found out that the child was not his...Anyway, its so unfortunate.Iam sure the Kenyan went there in pursuit of a better life.I hope the police catch the culprit.

    @Kenya, what in this story prompts you to jump to that conclusion? It says that the Police questioned the father who found his family dead. For all you know, the woman could have committed suicide/murder. We don't know. Post natal depression...lot's of possibilities. Very sad, but we can't just jump to such dangerous conclusion. Of course, if he had a hand in this, then....has to be held into account.

    @Sukari. If you have followed such cases before you will know that over 95% of such murders are committed by the baby daddy, hubby or boyfriend. That is a known fact.

    R.I.P, Mother and son, However , the Authorities in Denmark, must now do their investigative Duty to establish the cause of death and yes, they must take a keen look @ the Husband.

    All in the name of getting a white man

  13. SukariNov 14, 2017

    Yes Kenya. But there is no evidence this is the case here. I am merely pointing out that there are other possibilities, not ruling this out. Get my drift? I just don't like jumping in the judgement end too early driven by assumptions based on probabilities. Sad case.

    The husband was an abusive cheater. Her friends have spoken out about their relationship and her attempts to leave him, but she was fearful that the govt would not allow her to take their son because he was born there.

  15. KenyaNov 14, 2017

    I understand you @Sukari. I did not say the father of that child is the murderer. I said he should be investigated carefully. We do not know how their relationship was like.

  16. SukariNov 17, 2017

    Very sad story Sue. Looks like she did herself in due to the isolation and emotional abuse.
