According to reports from Police in Kenya on Friday, has it that 30-year-old man, James Maina has been arrested after he allegedly stabbed his two daughters to death at Mshomoroni area, in Kisauni Sub-county area in Kenya.

According to Nation, the girl’s bodies were discovered by the landlady, Linah Righa, who disclosed that the suspect and his wife, a businesswoman, were having marital issues.

Moreover, the landlady also disclosed that on that particular day, she had sent her daughter to go and find out why the girls were not responding to her lunch call.

“I went with her and knocked on the door. The children’s father did not respond, so we broke down the door. We found him sitting on a jerrican. He said he had killed the children,” Ms Linah lamented while breaking into sobs.

On the other hand, Charles Kimani, Maina’s father, acknowledged that his second-born had been having a drinking problem for years.
