Police in Kariobangi are holding a couple from Nairobi’s Korogocho slums after bodies of their five children were found lying in their room.
There was somber mood at the slum as police flooded the area picking pieces of evidence from the crime; It is still not clear how the children were killed since the parents were still in the house when police arrived at the scene of the incident.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the couple had a domestic brawl last night which may have resulted to the killings. A neighbor said that she visited the family and found the bodies of the children lying on the ground of their semi permanent house.
Neighbors called police officers who stormed into the house and found bodies of the children; the parents were arrested and are helping police with investigations. Police suspect that the children were poisoned.
