A 30-year-old woman allegedly killed her daughter and mother, seriously injured her boyfriend, and then committed suicide on Tuesday night, in Nyangera Kambajo village, Bondo sub-county, Siaya county.
Macrine Atieno is accused of murdering her 10-year-old daughter and her mother, Perez Anyango, 60, before going to her boyfriend’s house and attacking and seriously injuring him before returning home and hanging herself.
According to Usire sub-location Assistant Chief Austin Bunde, Atieno is suspected of having disagreements with her 35-year-old boyfriend Kennedy Onyango.
He claimed that Atieno’s neighbours discovered her body hanging from a tree in her paternal home and went inside to inform her mother, only to find her lifeless body lying in a pool of blood alongside her granddaughter, who had several machete wounds.
Mr. Bunde went on to say that Macrine’s boyfriend, who lives on the same property, was also in critical condition as a result of the alleged attack.
The police were called to the scene, and the bodies were taken to the Bondo sub-county hospital mortuary for postmortem examination.
The boyfriend, who had lost a lot of blood, is also being treated at the same facility.
Meanwhile, police have launched an investigation into the incident.
