The family of Nakuru doctor James Gakara suspected of killing his two kids has been thrown in an abyss of despair following the death of the kin in hospital.
Dr. Gakara died on Wednesday morning September 22nd while receiving treatment at Nakuru Level Five Hospital.
The late doctor was rushed to the facility on Saturday after he was found unconscious in his house, with the bodies of his two children lying on their bed.
It’s believed that Dr. Gakara injected his two children with insulin before turning to himself, but the effect of the insulin was slow on him.
Gakara’s family expressed doubt that Dr. Gakara took the lives of his children aged five and three and then attempted suicide.
Gakara’s elder sister Mary Nyagathii who addressed the press at Nakuru Level Five Hospital before her brother died said that they were waiting for him to regain consciousness so that he could set the record straight.
“My brother was at the best stage in his life. He greatly loved his children. What happened is still like a bad dream to us. I believe that the only person who can give answers on what happened is Gakara himself. He is still unconscious and in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). He is under police custody at the facility,” said Nyaguthii.
Police said Gakara was alone with the kids when he murdered them but his sister insists there were other people in the house.
Nyaguthii said that on the fateful day, there were other persons who were in the home and they should also be questioned.
“We have some persons of interest who are yet to give an account of what happened. Dr. Gakara was rarely alone with his children as it has been alleged. We hope that those yet to record statements will shed light on the matter,” said Nyaguthii.
Gakara’s death has now dashed the family’s hope of ever getting to know the truth on what really happened that fateful Saturday September 18th that has now caused them triple tragedy.
