Detectives are investigating an incident where a mother and her adult son were found dead in the same room after a suspected suicide incident in Athi River, Machakos County.
The two were identified as Catherine Mueni and her son Bosco Mulwa.
The mother and son left the family home on January 29 and headed for Mulwa’s house where the bodies were found.
A brother of Mulwa told police the mother told him to prepare their younger sister for school the following day.
On January 30, the mother failed to come back to the house.
This prompted a search that ended up in Mulwa’s house in the Samora area where the bodies were found.
Police said Mulwa’s body was hanging on a red electric cable, which was tied around his neck.
The body of the woman lay on the bed with no visible injuries.
It is suspected she swallowed poison.
Both bodies were moved to the mortuary pending autopsy and other investigations.
Police said they are yet to establish the motive of the incident.
