Evans Kang'ethe reportedly killed his two children aged 3 and 7 on August 6, 2023.

The 28-year-old man from Kiharu, Murang’a County alleged to have killed his two sons by slitting their throats after a domestic feud with his wife has been arrested in the neighbouring Maragua constituency.

Evans Kang'ethe reportedly killed his two children aged 3 and 7 with a sharp object on Sunday night before escaping.

He was arrested on Tuesday at Ndaragwa Bridge by the area chief with assistance from members of the public. 

Police had a hard time controlling the crowd that was baying for Kang'ethe's blood. He was also resisting arrest.

According to a police report obtained by Citizen Digital on Sunday, officers dispatched to the scene discovered that the suspect's wife had fled her marital home a week before the incident due to an unspecified marital disagreement.
