You recall the story of Lawrence Njoroge Warunge. He was arrested as a suspect in the murder of five family members who included his parents in Kiambu County this January.
Njoroge, 22, confessed to having been inspired by “Killing Eve”, a British dark thriller TV series, besides also reading two novels “Eight Perfect Murders” and “The Eve of Murder”. Psychiatric evaluations have since deemed him fit to stand trial.
Then there was the recent story of Kelvin Akal, 24, from Nyalenda Kilo estate in Kisumu, who chopped off his grandmother’s head and surrendered with it to the police.

Kisumu residents were Monday afternoon treated to a shocking incident after a middle-aged man murdered his grandmother, chopped off her head and presented it to police officers at Kisumu Central Station.
In a bizarre incident that left even police officers manning the station s OB desk baffled, the 24-year-old Kelvin Akal presented himself at the station after committing the heinous act.
All through, officers and other people who were at the police station had assumed he had brought food for an inmate booked at the cells.
