The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has launched investigations into a shocking incident where a minor murdered four family members in Kiambu county, Kenya in a span of one year.
The quartet was aged 15 months, 5 years, 7 years and 20 months old respectively.
In a statement on social media, DCI says the matter was reported by the suspect’s father at the Kikuyu police station.
After interrogations, the 15-year-old Form One student confessed to the sleuths how she committed the heinous acts revealing that her last murder took place last month when she drowned her cousin – a 20-months-old, in a well in their home in Gathiga village, Kabete sub-county.
“The suspect confessed to detectives how she murdered her kin aged 15 months, 5 years and 7 years between February and July 2021. She also confessed to having murdered her cousin who was 20 months old, by drowning him in a well in their compound sometime last month.
“The juvenile admitted to having committed the murders, before Kikuyu sub-county children’s officer,” part of the statement further reads.
She remains in custody at Kikuyu Police station pending arraignment in a court of law.
