Doctor attempts suicide after killing his two children

A medical doctor, James Gakara has allegedly killed his two children by injecting them with insulin, before attempting to commit suicide in Nakuru, Kenya.

Nakuru County Police Commander, Beatrice Kiraguri who confirmed the unfortunate incident, said Gakara injected his two children with insulin before turning to himself, but the effect of the insulin was slow on him.

Kiraguri said; “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.”

Gakara was rescued and taken to hospital with police escort, while bodies of the two children have been taken to Nakuru Municipal mortuary. The investigation is still ongoing.
