A man has brutally killed his wife and three children in another case of growing domestic violence in Kenyan homes.

The children are aged 14, 8 and 4 years respectively.

Police are already at the scene of the crime to investigate the incident that happened in the wee hours of Monday.

The suspect, however, is yet to be arrested as he is reported to have fled the scene after committing the crime.

The family, which has been living in Marurui area in Roysambu sub county, had been having differences over what neighbors termed as the man's wife habit of coming in late from the bar where she worked as a bartender.
