Speaking to the Nation, his sister Mary Gakara said the information given to the family by the first responders did not add up.
“I know my brother very well. He would do anything to protect his children. He is also not the kind of person to commit such an act,” she said.
“He loves his family and we have never heard of any differences between my brother and his wife. They have always been happy.”
Mary told the daily that they suspect someone else may have killed the children and was attempting to frame their kin.
