A 40-year-old man named Benson Njuguna Njogu allegedly killed his five-year-old daughter in Gatundu North, Kiambu County, before taking his own life on Saturday morning. The incident occurred at a homestead in Kamwangi, where the girl was found hanging by a string inside a bedroom. Njogu had previously accused his wife of infidelity and assaulted her, causing her to flee and seek refuge at a neighbor's house.
On Friday evening, Njogu visited the neighbor's home and pleaded with his wife to return, promising forgiveness, but she refused. The next morning, the girl discovered her sister's lifeless body. Police found the suspect later that day, hanging about 100 meters from his home. Following the discovery of the bodies, police launched further investigations into the circumstances surrounding both deaths.
