Thika residents break into house on fire

Together, they had two young sons: the firstborn, Tallan, was about six years old, and the second-born, Terence, was about four years old.

“Yesterday night, I received a text from one of my followers. She mentioned a neighbour whose house was locked, and there were ongoing domestic issues. They were worried because the disputes were also affecting the two children. Neighbours reported the commotion, but the doors were locked from inside. The situation escalated when a fire was lit, and the house began burning. By the time they managed to break in, the husband, wife, and children had collapsed. Smoke had filled the entire house. Unfortunately, the husband and one child died before rescue,” Ndungu Nyoro shared.

Wambui and the remaining child were rushed to the hospital in a bid to save their lives, which were hanging in the balance.

However, both Wambui and her son did not survive, as they succumbed on Saturday, June 6, leaving many devastated.

Kenyans react to death of four family members

Social media users flooded the comment section with reactions to the tragedy that has left many with more questions than answers:

Kingdom Billionaire:

“God, we rebuke the spirit of bloodshed operating in Kenya. We rebuke this fire spirit in Jesus’ name. We command it to leave Kenya in Jesus’ name.”

Josephine Nyaga:

“At this point, I am convinced there are spirits thirsty for blood in this country. This is not normal. Christians, arise and pray. Kenya needs deliverance.”

Olive Njagi:

“Some of the things we see today in schools may have stemmed from earlier formative stages. Better to be called a single parent than to kill your children and spouse.”

Evans Begi:

“The hustle and struggles of this economy are killing multitudes of otherwise good citizens before their life expectancy. Very sad.”

Wa Belli:

“Is separation that expensive? Anger management should be taught in schools as a subject. Innocent kids are dying in pain.”
