Police manning the crime scene

A young man, a sophomore at Mt.Kenya University taking Bachelor of Business in IT, alledgedly murders five family members in Lower Kabete, Nairobi and claims the idea to commit this gruelsome deed came from watching ‘Killing Eve’ -a British dark thriller usually aired on Fox T.V. channel... Yes, you heard me right, watching T.V.

The suspect, Lawrence Waruinge, who has been in hiding from Tuesday, confessed that he decided to eliminate the four family members because they were talking ill of him behind his back.

In his testimony to cops he said that he initially ployed to kill everyone, i.e. including his two sisters, who  fortunately enough were in school thus surviving the odeal.

Mourning the loss at the family's home

While appearing to borrow a leaf from Villanelle- the villain and psychopathic assassin in the British show- the 22-year-old descended upon his family members without remorse, killing them one by one before hitting the road to destroy evidence.

The police report indicated that he first killed James Kinyanjui; a masion who lived a few meters from the main house.

Then attacked his mother, Anne Wanjiku, in the kitchen and shortly after, his young 12-year-old cousin who had responded to his mother’s distress call.

The suspect then attacked his father Nicholas Waruinge who was in the master bedroom and had attempting to flee the visceral attack, from jumping off the balcony.

Last to be killed was his own brother, a 13-year-old boy who was hiding under the bed.

He told police officers how he stabbed the minor with a 9-inch knife despite the helpless child kneeling and pleading for mercy.

According to Citizen news report, before the murder, Warunge told detectives that he had gone online to research on the best way to execute the crime.

To ensure that none of his victims would survive, Warunge would hit them on the head with a metal bar, stab them multiple times on the chest before slitting their throat.

After commiting all the crimes, Waruinge went on the lam after packing his bloodied clothes in a bag.

He also carried several phones of the victims and the murder weapon to Njikase village in Mai-Mahiu where he had rented board with his lover.

He then ditched the knife, the bloody clothes and one house key in a public toilet. Then went to a nearby valley where he burned other items including a mobile phone.

His girlfriend Sarah Muthoni was also apprehended and caught after the crime. The chick is in police custody aiding police with the investigations into the matter.
