Age,money and impunity are the only differences between murderers Tarus,Obando and Raila who killed their children.But like Wanjiru,Obando added their lovers to the list.Both cannibals Raila and Wanjiru are licensed killers while Obando will loot taxpayers’ millions to escape conviction.Tarus is left alone to join others at KAMITI.
