Police in Siaya county’s Bondo sub-county are investigating an incident in which a 30-year-old woman allegedly killed her daughter and mother, seriously injured her boyfriend, and then committed suicide at Nyangera Kambajo village on Tuesday night.
The woman, identified as Macrine Atieno, is accused of murdering her 10-year-old daughter and her mother, Perez Anyango, 60, before going to her boyfriend’s house and attacking and seriously injuring him before returning home and hanging herself.
Atieno is suspected of having disagreements with her 35-year-old boyfriend Kennedy Onyango, according to Usire sub-location Assistant Chief Austin Bunde.
He told Radio Ramogi that Atieno’s neighbors discovered her body hanging from a tree in her paternal home and went inside to inform her mother, only to find her lifeless body lying in a pool of blood alongside her granddaughter, who had several machete wounds.
Mr. Bunde went on to say that it was later discovered that Macrine’s boyfriend, who lives on the same property, was also in critical condition as a result of the alleged attack.
The police were then called to the scene, where they removed the bodies to Bondo sub-county hospital mortuary for postmortem examination.
The boyfriend, who had lost a lot of blood, is receiving treatment in the same facility.
Meanwhile, police have launched investigations into the incident.
