Fredrick Munyiri who was Murimi’s colleague at Jufred Dairies spoke to K24 about the murders, “I looked for my colleague, who accompanied me to the scene, where we found our manager, Murimi, lying in a pool of blood in his bedroom,”
“In a room adjacent to the manager’s bedroom, was the body of his 13-year-old daughter who had sustained a deep cut wound in her head,” Munyiri added.
The daughter who attended Jufred Academy was supposed to sit for her Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams this year. The bodies of the father and daughter were taken to the Kerugoya County Referral Hospital mortuary.
Kirinyaga County Commissioner, Jim Njoka had days earlier noted that cases of domestic violence were increasing after the dusk till dawn curfew was imposed.
“I urge couples to stop fighting one another, especially men who are naturally physically stronger than their wives. Should you find it hard to solve your issues privately, then you can seek the services of a marriage counsellor, ” the county commissioner said.
With most people staying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, domestic violence cases have been on the rise across the world.
