The sequence of events paints a heartbreaking picture of grief, isolation, and unanswered questions.
According to family friends, the ordeal traces back two years, when the man — identified as Justus Wambua Kavyu — lost one of his children to cancer.
The loss shattered him. Overwhelmed by grief, he withdrew from Nairobi and returned to his rural home in Migwani, Kitui County, where he sought solace in farming.
Meanwhile, his wife, Tabitha Kathini Wambua, and their remaining daughter, Stacey Kiluti Wambua, continued to live in Saika.
Recently, Justus traveled to Nairobi to visit his wife and daughter. What awaited him was a nightmare: he found both of them dead inside the house.
The details surrounding their cause of death remain unclear, and investigators have yet to publicly confirm what exactly happened.
Shocked beyond comprehension, Justus reportedly could not withstand the emotional blow of losing two close family members at once.
Shortly after discovering their bodies, he also died. This compounded the already tragic situation into a triple loss.
For several days, the three bodies remained inside the Saika home without anyone noticing.
It was only when neighbors detected a foul smell coming from the house that they decided to investigate.
The grim discovery prompted immediate calls to authorities, who recovered the bodies and launched an inquiry.
The deceased were identified as Justus Wambua Kavyu, his wife Tabitha Kathini Wambua, and their daughter, Stacey Kiluti Wambua.
Their deaths have left an irreplaceable void among relatives, friends, and the broader community.
Those who knew the family described them as warm, grounded, and closely knit.
Justus, remembered as a devoted father and loving husband, was the son of the late Wellington Kavyu Munyasya and the late Naomi Kiluti Kavyu of Nzatani, Migwani.
He leaves behind eight grieving siblings and an extended family struggling to make sense of the tragedy.
Tabitha was mourned as a gentle, hardworking, and dedicated mother, while their daughter Stacey was remembered as a kind young woman who was always ready to help those around her.
As investigations continue, the community remains shaken, searching for answers to a loss that feels both sudden and deeply unsettling.
