Nakuru man's father-in-law speaks
Speaking to the media, the father-in-law of the man who killed his son before harming himself said the couple had been facing some relationship troubles in the days leading up to the incident.
"They had broken up, and so he went to the school to pick up the child, only for us to later find out that he had killed the child and also himself. When my daughter left work at the hotel she works at, she came here to find out why her son had not gone to school," he recounted.
He said that once the mum of the child arrived at her baby daddy's house, she was horrified to find the child had already died.
"We waited for her to come and tell us what happened. It is such a shocking scene," he said.
Locals condemned the incident, urging couples to find better ways of solving conflicts instead of taking away their lives and those of their children.
"Approach your parents or the elders and let them help you find a solution because this is not the best way to handle domestic conflicts," a neighbour said.
