"I called them, but they never responded. Upon reaching their house, I found blood flowing. I found my grandsons and their father dead," she said.

Peter Michael, Muumbi's colleague, said he rushed to the house after Mumbi's mother raised the alarm to assess the severity of the situation.

That's when Michael discovered that Muumbi had killed his 11-and 17-year-old sons with a panga before he died.

"Upon reaching the home, I found Mumbi's eldest son had been cut on the head with a panga. The other son was also killed in the same way," Michael said.

He added that Muumbi, who had separated from his wife last year, was not fond of interacting with others but appeared to have a good relationship with his sons.

"Mumbi lived only with his two sons and he didn't like people in his house. He lived very peacefully with his sons," he added.

Police transported the bodies of the deceased to the Kilome Nursing Home mortuary.
