A 30-year-old police officer stationed in Marsabit has reportedly taken his own life after killing his three children in Kakdhimu East Location, Kagoga Village, Karachuonyo West Sub-County, Homa Bay.
The officer, David Okebe, who was on leave, is reported to have poisoned a six-year-old boy, a five-year-old girl, and a five-year-old nephew before taking his own life.
Preliminary investigations suggest the act may have been linked to long-standing domestic disputes involving his wife and in-laws.
Confirming the incident, Homa Bay County Police Commander Laurence Koilel urged the public to seek peaceful ways of resolving domestic conflicts and avoid resorting to violence or suicide.
Authorities have launched investigations into the matter.
The bodies were moved to the Homa Bay Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary.
