Eeeeish! WTF?
Here comes the Christmas season! December is always associated with escalation of family related murders & or domestic violence!
So, very sad indeed! The innocent children didn’t get a chance to grow up & experience life!
@ GG,I thought many people associcate Chrismas season with giving,forgiving,loving, holiness,sharing,and remembering the birth of son of Mariam,as Ndugu Imara Daima would put?But, Iam also mindful that,the holiday season can put alot of demands on families in terms of gifts, donations, vacations,gatherings,and spending limited resources on" unfriendly" guests.That said, we do not know what exactly triggered this heinous crime,yet.Nontheless, I cannot begin to comprehend how someone can kill his wife, children that he professes to love.Iam sure its safe to assume that he loved his family,despite what happened. Maybe he didnot love himself.It all begins with the individual.
Damn!
mental issues for sure
Njoki Muchemi was my ex wife's best friend
My goodness 😳..why kill all? Better you go alone! Innocent kids , poor lady, and a mentally ill man.Kweli live today, as tomorrow never comes! I feel so affected.I can't imagine how next of kin feel now.My condolences good people 🙏

Ladies, wives, girlfriends, stop nagging your men, hubbys, boyfriends! They don’t have as big mouths to run, but they may go mad, that is insane! And you pay the price! Real Life Events
The Boogeyman comes out during the festive season.
So sad. Why? During my studies in college on mentalnhealth in Black Americans in 2000, the course didn't make sense then. But traits of depession or unspoken mental health in African Americans is real, as I interact with them on daily basis. Particularly mood swings, mostly associated with bipolar symptoms, is a common phenomenon here in my place of work. Outbursts and out-of-the blues curses and uncontrolled anger is an ugly scenario in most African Americans as in their counterparts the caucasians. And to me, the moment you identify an individual with such repetative recurrences, the faster I keep off from them to avoid an escalated altercation. As sad it really is, I dont understand why professionals missed those cues and clues. Magonjwa ya kiakili inawagusa wote hata Wakenya wenzetu. Kuna wawili watatu ambao kingo zao zinafikia upeoni, na sidhani familia wana hali walionayo wapendwa wao. May their innocent souls rest in eternal peace.
Kenyans get killed by other Kenyans, you say nothing. Terrorism in Kenya, you say nothing. When an American kills a Kenyan (which isn’t common) now they have bipolar issues and all these other problems. It’s funny how mental health problems run rampant all around the world but yet you think Kenyans are somehow exempt from them or perfect. You’re no better than anyone else. You all don’t suffer any less, your culture just forces you to hide it.
My thoughts and prayers go to the mother and her two daughters. This is a very sad incident.

What really happened is a no brainer for any brother who's been married to a Kenyan woman. She needed him no more, she was going to leave him and take the children, and he couldn't take it. It happens times without number and only the strongest of men are able to deal with it and move on. I am one.
