A Kenyan doctor in Nakuru has allegedly killed his two children by injecting them with insulin.

Nakuru County Police Commander Beatrice Kiraguri has confirmed the unfortunate incident.

It is said that James Gakara injected his two children with insulin before turning to himself, but the effect of the insulin was slow on him.

“We received a tip-off from the public that there was a commotion in a nearby house along Kilimani area. We immediately dashed to the scene and found the lifeless bodies of the two children in the house. Their father was still breathing,” Kiraguri said.

Gakara was then rescued and taken to hospital under police escort

Police have since moved the bodies of the two children to Nakuru Municipal mortuary as investigations continue.
