A mentally challenged man in Makueni County murdered his 75-year-old mother and his 35-year-old sister on Sunday morning around 4 am at Metava village in Thange.
A manhunt by police in Kibwezi Sub-County for the man is currently underway.
The 40-year-old man identified as Muoki Nzavi stabbed his mother Esther Nzavi and Wavinya Nzavi several times to death. The sister succumbed to injuries while being taken to hospital while mother died instantly.
Thange Assistant Chief Nicholas Mwonga said that the man accesed the room normally and attacked the victims while they were deep asleep.
Mwonga said, “When we visited we found the doors were still intact in good condition, not broken into, raising questions on how the man entered the house. But I think the mother might have opened the door for him, who can deny entry to own son?”
He added that the suspect had already fled the scene by the time the neighbors came to the rescue of the two victims who were lying in a pool of blood in two different rooms. The man left a long knife at the crime scene.
“Neighbors say that they heard the two shout for help but when they rushed to the scene the man had already finished executing his mission and fled to unknown hideouts,” Mwonga added.
According to reports, Muoka has been arrested on several occasions for assaulting the mother and sister but the two victims refused to appear and testify in court when they were invited.
The Assistant Chief said, “This didn’t just happen, they have been assaulted before but when the man gets arrested the two fail to appear in court hence stamping his release by courts for lack of evidence.”
The bodies of the deceased were taken to Makindu sub-county hospital mortuary.
