Shock as Man hacks to death his two children, niece and househelp in Bomet: A horrifying incident happened in Silibwet, Bomet County, on Friday after a man brutally murdered four individuals – including his two children, a relative’s child, and a househelp.
The suspect, 45-year-old Robert Kilel, reportedly armed himself with a machete before going on the killing spree, indiscriminately hacking the victims who succumbed to injuries sustained during the attack.
Confirming the incident, Bomet Central sub-county Deputy Police Commander Ali Bashir told Citizen Digital that the victims comprised of the man’s 2-year-old daughter, 16-year-old son, 8-year-old niece and 16-year-old house help.
“The man went to his residence while his wife was at Silibwet town. He was armed with a Maasai machete and immediately pounced on his daughter slashing her under the cheek,” he said.
“He proceeded to kill his niece in a similar fashion before inflicting multiple cuts on the househelp. The 16-year-old boy attempted to flee but Kilel caught up with him.”
A manhunt has been launched for the assailant who fled the scene soon after. The bodies of the deceased have been moved to Tenwek hospital mortuary.
