A 59-year-old businessman inflicted a horrific act of violence upon his own family before ending his own life in Kitengela. 

The incident, which transpired on the fateful night of Sunday, May 5, 2024, has sent shock through the neighborhood.

According to eyewitness accounts, the harrowing sequence of events unfolded against a backdrop of marital strife between the perpetrator and his estranged wife. 

Motivated by a potent mix of anger, betrayal, and despair, the man fatally stabbed his 16-year-old stepdaughter, subjecting her to a barrage of vicious wounds as she innocently entered the family abode to retrieve a simple item—a phone. 

Despite the swift response of concerned neighbors, their efforts to intervene were tragically thwarted, leaving the young victim to succumb to her injuries in a scene of unimaginable horror.

However, the devastation did not end there. In a macabre twist that defies comprehension, the perpetrator elected to end his own life, leaving behind a chilling testament to his torment. 

In a suicide note laden with bitterness and resentment, he lashed out at his estranged wife, accusing her of infidelity and dereliction of marital duty. 

With each caustic word, he sought to inflict upon her the same anguish that had consumed him—an act of vengeance that would reverberate long after his passing.
