Shock as Five Family Members Found Brutally Murdered in Kiambu

Njoroge Warunge, his wife, two children, and niece were found dead in their home on Wednesday, a day after their farmhand was also found brutally killed.

The body of Warunge, who was hacked to death, was found lying within his compound while the rest were found murdered inside the house.

On Tuesday, the body of the family’s casual laborer was found dumped in a neighboring compound with police opening investigations into his murder.

Witnesses said the worker’s head had been severed and dumped outside his employer’s house while the torso was left at the neighboring compound.

Reports indicate the bodies of the murdered family were not discovered alongside that of the farmhand as officers who cleared the scene did not check inside Warunge’s compound.

Neighbors became suspicious after the phones of Warunge’s family went unanswered, leading to the discovery of their bodies on Wednesday morning.

Detectives from the homicide unit have launched a probe into the murders that have left residents in shock.

Investigators suspect the killers were on an elimination mission given that nothing was stolen from the family’s house.

    In anny civilized country the president would visit the place to get first hand information and reassure the country that this is unacceptable. Uhuru is in masai mara.

    Baloney. I'm no fan of Uhuru but he sure as hell is not a csi or a cop for that matter. Cheerleader-yes, imbiber in chief- sure, thief in chief- absolutely. But I can't recall a head of state anywhere going to random murder scenes to investigate. I'm trying to picture Uhuru doing Horatio in CSI Miami

    There is a difference between mass murder caused by racial, ethnic or religious hatred and random murders. This falls in the latter category. In 2016 a family of 8 was killed in Ohio. Outside of the usual, Dewine was AG & said something, the then governor said nothing and Obama nothing. None visited. It would have served no purpose other than political grandstanding. The same applies in Kenya

    @Mundumugo, that is true.

    Citizen TV just said that Njoroge Warunge had come from USA two weeks ago. Today he is dead. RIP diasporan.

    Being lightbrown and black for the other is the only difference between the two fools.Otherwise both are corrupt.Both hate citizens of their countries to the extent of importing COVID-19 from China to kill them(their electors).Both never hide their prostitution.They waste public funds to pay for PENGENYE.

    How can Kenya's amb to UN/Security Council,Kimani and his drunkard god/boss,Uhuru promise world peace yet they cannot stop the slaughter of their tribesmen by hired GANG led by Murathe Gatuhi and Maina Kamanda?It was five in Karura yerstarday,five(police lied about carbon monoxide) in Ruiru two days ago,two in Murang'a a month ago and many more in various parts of MT Kenya region this week alone.Maina tried to poison thousands of Gikambura and Rwithigiti villagers late last year without success.
