74 year old man kills daughter for being broke

A 74-year-old man went to a police station to inform officers that he killed his daughter.

Police said that they arrested the man on charges of murder for killing his 37-year-old daughter.

According to the police, he strangled his daughter with a scarf.

His 67-year-old wife had left for work when her husband killed their daughter who lived with them.

According to police, the man told detectives that “he was pessimistic about his daughter’s future.”

Officers went to the man’s home and found the daughter collapsed on the floor. She was rushed to a hospital, where she later died.

Police said he had consulted with them several times last month and earlier this month about her “unstable workplace relationships with colleagues and financial troubles with acquaintances.”

Man commits suicide

A man in Githurai, Nairobi, committed suicide after failing to raise secondary school fees for his daughter.

John Castrol Okombo, 39, made the decision to take his own life after his daughter, who had landed a place at Moi Girls, could not make today’s deadline of admission due to lack of funds.

Mr. Okombo left behind a suicide note asking his mother, Margaret, to sell his share of the family piece of land and use the money to send his daughter to school.
