According to him, the bodies of the victims were discovered a day after the killing, adding that a two- year-old boy who was also inside the room during the attack escaped unhurt.
The Police chief said that the suspect would be charged to court soon.
In an interview with journalists, the suspect said that he decided to kill the victims because they hired boys to beat him up anytime he had problem with his wife.
“I killed them out of annoyance because my mother-in-law used to send boys to beat me up. I sustained this injury in my left eye in one of the attacks.
Anytime I had issues with my wife, my mother-in-law would say ‘why am I talking to my wife like that’. And each time I quarrelled with my wife, she sent boys to beat me up,” he said.
He added, “when I got to the house, I met the door open.

“When the matter was announced on television, my father asked me if I was the one that did it and I told him that I was the one.
“I don’t hide anything from him. He then called the police who came to the house and arrested me”.
