Confirming the incident, Ruiru OCPD Isaac Thuranira said that police who arrived at the scene suspected that the girl was one of the missing three kids who disappeared on Tuesday last week.

Thuranira said that he had informed the family of the deceased lawyer Paul Muga of the missing children and the family identified the child as Tiffany Muthoni.

The police however confirmed that Tiffany’s siblings Allen, 9, and Ryan, 8, were still missing but they have launched a search to find them with the hope of finding them alive.

On Monday detectives investigating the mysterious deaths of the couple obtained their phone records which they said was crucial in the investigation.

Andrew Kamau, the brother to the deceased husband told the press that the family was undergoing aggravation in trying to trace the whereabouts of the three children.
