Recently, a terrible event happened in Githogoro. A woman named Monica Ndungu, 35 years old, killed her three young sons and then took her own life. The police are working hard to find out why this happened.
It was early Tuesday morning when Monica’s husband, Junior Wa Githogoro, came home from his night job. He found his wife and their three boys, aged 6, 4, and 2, dead inside their house. Monica had used bedsheets to strangle her children and then hanged herself. Junior was shocked and called the neighbors, who quickly got in touch with the police.
The police from Gigiri Station arrived fast. They found a note in the house that they think Monica wrote. The note said she was very unhappy with her husband and gave instructions for her funeral, like wanting only close family there and her body cremated. The police are checking if she really wrote it and why she felt this way. They believe problems in her marriage might have been a reason, but they’re still looking into it.
The bodies of Monica and her sons were taken to Kenyatta Teaching and Referral Morgue. Doctors will examine them to make sure of how they died. The police are also looking at the bedsheets and other things in the house to understand exactly what happened.
People in Githogoro are very sad and surprised. They say Monica was a quiet person who seemed nice. No one thought something like this could happen. Neighbors and friends are talking about how hard it must have been for Monica, and many wish she could have gotten help. The community held a special church service to remember Monica and her boys, and it was a very emotional time for everyone.
The police, led by Gigiri Deputy Commander Fredrick Alata, are trying to learn more. They’re looking at whether Monica was struggling with her feelings, money problems, or fights at home. They want to make sure they understand everything so they can help the family and community find answers. They’ve asked people not to guess about what happened until they finish their work.
This tragedy has made people in Githogoro think about how important it is to help those who are feeling sad or stressed. Many are saying there should be more places where people can talk about their problems. The loss of Monica and her three sons has left everyone heartbroken, and the community hopes something like this never happens again. The police are still investigating and will share more when they know it. For now, Githogoro is coming together to support each other and remember the lives that were lost.
