Kenyan Woman Poisons Her 2 Kids To Death And Stabs Herself After Separation

 

A 32-year-old lady was arrested in Mwiyala, Kenya, on the outskirts of Kakamega town, for serving poisoned food to her two children, who died as a result. Pherine Maero, a registered nurse, poisoned her two children, ages 7 and 9, on Saturday night, March 5, and then summoned her estranged husband to "collect the remains of your children."

Charles Akhonya, a watchman at the apartment where she lives, said the woman approached him at the gate at 3am, urging him to open the gate for the ‘husband’, but on following them to their house, he learned of two children lying dead on their bed.

The woman, who tried to stab herself with a knife on the neck, was rescued and is receiving treatment at a Kakamega hospital, even as police investigate the matter.

Neighbours who spoke to the press have divulged that the woman has been chaotic since separating with her husband, at one point smashing her husband’s car which was parked at the apartment.

Kakamega Central OCPD Valerian Obore confirmed the incident, saying the suspect, who is in critical condition at the hospital, will be arraigned for murder upon recovery. The bodies of the minors were removed to the Kakamega County General Teaching & Referral Hospital mortuary.
