Police are investigating an incident where a man was found dead alongside his young sons in a village in Subukia.
Detectives said the man had earlier gone to the home of his estranged wife and picked up the deceased sons, aged four and two.
The deceased man, identified as Dominic Ateka had been living in Mombasa while his wife and children stayed in Mihango Kware area, Subukia.
He travelled from Mombasa to the area and visited his wife’s home before picking up his two sons.
The couple had domestic differences that forced the woman to move out of their home.
On Wednesday, May 28, Ateka picked the children and went back with them to his home.
That is the last time they were seen alive.
Come Thursday, the man’s mother went to check on them only to find the house locked from inside.
She tried to knock on the door, but there was no response.
This forced her to seek help from neighbours who arrived and broke in and found the bodies.
They found the bodies of the three hanging from the rafters of the roof and tied with ropes. The police arrived at the scene and moved the bodies to the mortuary pending autopsy and other investigations.
The motive of the incident is yet to be known.
