A shocking case in Mlolongo has taken a disturbing turn as Linet Munala, accused of poisoning her three children, has spoken to police expressing remorse for her actions. According to reports, Munala told officers that she was influenced by “shetani” (the devil) and pleaded for forgiveness, insisting she had no intention of repeating the act.
She explained that her motive was to punish her husband, whom she claimed had been harassing her, but admitted that she did not think clearly and now deeply regrets her actions. Her statement highlights a mixture of anger, impulsivity, and remorse, underscoring the tragic consequences of unresolved domestic tensions.
Authorities are expected to continue investigating the case, while the community and social services grapple with the welfare of the three children, who remain at risk due to the gravity of the incident. The case has reignited discussions on domestic disputes, mental health, and child protection in Kenya, emphasizing the need for early intervention to prevent such tragedies.
