Police launch hunt for Kiambu man who murdered lover, three children

The late Ann Gathoni was murdered with her three children at Marurui Estate in Kiambu County. [Jenipher Wachie, Standard]

As dark grey clouds hang over Kiambu’s Marurui town yesterday morning, a cheerful two-year-old girl in a brown sweater and blue trousers pranced jovially outside her home. She smiled as her small feet imprinted into the light mud, and happily nibbled on a hard brown bun.

Perhaps the toddler still held memories of her loving father coming home on Sunday night with a packet of fries for his little princess. To the little girl, life could not be any happier.
