Young lawyer, Paul Magu, in 2014 December, killed his wife and children before throwing himself in front of a bus that was heading to Nairobi from Garissa.
Police say that Magu was pushed by the teachings of a religious cult to kill his wife and their three children, Allen, Ryan and Tiffany.
Magu had led a flashy lifestyle as a young lawyer and had everything a man of his age could wish for – a beautiful wife, three lovely children, cars and a five-bedroom house in a nice neighborhood. He graduated from the University of Nairobi in 2001.
Some of his former classmates are lawyers Kethi Kilonzo, Philip Nyachoti and Catherine Nyambura Njuguna.
In 2007, he met a female pastor who introduced him to a church based in Nigeria where he started visiting together with the pastor.
In 2009, he stopped working as a lawyer to “concentrate on spirituality.” He also stayed away from his relatives and friends and did not allow his children to mingle with the neighbours.
Magu’s family believe he may have been brainwashed by the cult since he had earlier asked a neighbour whether he was willing to take care of his children in case he died.
