The body of the woman and that of her son, were found decomposing in their bedroom while the boyfriend's body was found in the bathroom with his legs and hands tied.

The events unfolded after the boy's school contacted his father and asked why the pupil had not reported on Monday.

Bothered, he made calls to the mother but they went unanswered. It is then that he decided to visit the home and found the horrific scene.

The civil servant is posted at the Mathare branch office of the Registrar of Persons which is under the Ministry of Interior Coordination. 

The incident came just days after a businesswoman who had been missing for weeks found dead and body dumped in Kajiado.

38-year-old Caroline Maina went missing Friday, February 12, under mysterious circumstances. On the said day, she had neither gone home nor contacted her family to tell them of her whereabouts.

Police suspect that Maina could have been tortured as her body was mutilated and her eyes gouged out.

The businesslady was last seen at Stima Plaza in Ngara and her vehicle was found dumped near Gatina Primary School in Kawangware.
