Residents of Gilgil are trying to come to terms with an incident in which a middle-aged woman is said to have killed her three children before taking her own life.\n<\/p>\n

The lifeless bodies were found locked in their house in Teachers B Estate a few meters from Kenyatta Barracks.\n<\/p>\n

It’s suspected the woman, a housewife, killed the boys aged 9,7 and 1 year two days ago. The\u00a0neighbours called the police after they noticed\u00a0a foul smell coming from her house. <\/p>\n

Gilgil OCPD John Ondit confirmed the incident adding that police were called to the scene by neighbours.\n<\/p>\n

“It looks like the woman used poison to kill the minors before taking her life using a rope,” said the police boss.<\/p>\n

He said that the husband to the deceased was a KDF officer who was currently serving the country in Somalia.\n<\/p>\n

“It’s not clear what motivated the woman to do this but we have collected the bodies and taken them to the Gilgil sub-county hospital mortuary,” he said on phone.\n<\/p>\n

Last year, a woman killed her three children in Naivasha in what she claimed to be a directive from powerful forces sent by her estranged husband. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
