Mjane Mkenya na wanae wauliwa mjini Atlanta

Nyumba walipouliwa huko Atlanta. Ona Police Tape kwa chini.


Nilikuwa nimesikia habari za mjane na watoto wake wa kike kuuliwa huko Atlanta. Ila kwenye vyombo vya habari walikuwa hawataji majina. Leo wamewataja. Kumbe ni waKenya!

Mungu awalaze mahali pema mbinguni. AMEN.

Police Talking to Ga. Attack Survivor

ATLANTA — Authorities said Thursday they had spoken with one of the two young boys who survived an attack in a suburb that left a Kenyan immigrant and her two teenage daughters dead in their suburban home.

Police have released few details about what happened in the house except to say that they don't believe the deaths involved murder-suicide.

The boys were found unconscious with the bodies on Wednesday inside the two-story home in a Powder Springs neighborhood of neatly manicured lawns. Cobb County police spokesman Dana Pierce would not say which of the boys was questioned and would reveal no details about the conversation.

Killed in the attack were Jane Gakuny Kuria, 46, and daughters Isabela, 19, and Annabelle, 16, authorities said. Kuria's 7-year-old son, Jeremy Kuria, was in critical condition and his cousin, Peter Thiande, 8, was in serious condition, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite spokesman Jason Rollins said Thursday.

Neighbors said Kuria, a nurse, had moved in about two years earlier. Investigators have reached out to members of the area's Kenyan community as they search for clues.

A lawyer handling an asylum case for Kuria said she fled Kenya in 2001 after the death of her husband because she feared her daughters would have to undergo female circumcision.

"Her fear was of the horrific practice of female genital mutilation and it happening to her daughters," immigration attorney Charles H. Kuck told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Kuria arrived with her children in Boston in March 2001 and moved to Georgia in February 2002.

She had applied for asylum in the United States but recently was denied. Kuck was handling her appeal.

Jermaine Goddard, a 16-year-old neighbor, said he was shocked by the crime as he showed photographs of Annabelle with the school's pep squad. He said he saw her every morning escorting her younger brother to the bus stop.

The triple homicides were the first of the year for Powder Springs, a suburban west Georgia town of about 15,000 about 20 miles west of Atlanta.
