A young man who brutally murdered his parents and two brothers has finally confessed.
The tragic incident happened in Karura area, Kiambu county, Kenya.
The 22-year-old university IT student identified as Lawrence Simon Warunge, was arrested on Friday, January 8, as a prime suspect into the incident after a three-day manhunt.
Police said they arrested the son identified as Lawrence after he went missing since Tuesday when his parents, two brothers and a worker were brutally murdered at their home in Kiambaa Constituency.
After he was arrested, he later confessed to the incident and led police to a residence in Mai Mahiu area on Saturday where they recovered the murder weapon, a kitchen knife, clothes, shoes and a piece of paper.
He had thrown the exhibits to a pit latrine. Police dug the wall of the latrine and used ropes to recover the exhibits from the 20-feet deep pit.
He also took police to an open field in the same area where he said he burnt some of the evidence.
Lawrence claims he killed the five alone but police said they are open to a possibility there were other players.
The most chilling part is where Lawrence said he caught up with his father, Nicholas Njenga Warunge as he escaped from him after he broke one of his legs after jumping off a balcony.
