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.
In a shocking twist of events, Lawrence Njoroge linked to the gruesome killing of his family members in Kiambu County, revealed that he was inspired by a TV show.
