Cyrus Nduhiu and his young family were enjoying lunch at their home in Imara Daima, Nairobi on Saturday afternoon when their meal was disrupted by screams coming from outside their gate.
As they could not have imagined the worst, they were not alarmed at first. It was not until the 42-year-old decided to check what was happening outside and found a crowd trying to put out a fire outside his gate that it hit him that the danger was closer home than he had imagined.

The recent mystery surrounding the killing of three people at a house in Government Quarters along Jogoo Road in Nairobi marked yet another gruesome murder in the Kenyan capital.
Over the last year, the country has witnessed a spike in similar murder cases, with some eventually linked to inheritance wars, business deals, and family members confessing to hiring hit-men to murder their own kin.
At the turn of the year, Lawrence Simon Warunge, stunned the entire country following his chilling confession.
The 22-year-old admitted to having taken 3 months to plan how he would kill both his parents, two siblings, and a farmhand.
