To unfortunate incident has now forced the family to request the government to provide security for them until the deceased are buried.
Allan Warunge, a neighbour and one of the deceased's brother, narrated that he had been alerted of two people who wanted to intrude into the home.
"I was alerted by the security guards at around 12:30 at night that there two people who wanted to open the gate, both on the left and the right side. I called the chief immediately and he called the OCPD. They acted with speed," Allan told Kameme TV.
Further, he urged the government to provide them with security, fearing that they could be in danger.
"We cannot sleep because we keep feeling like we will be attacked. The security guards fear that there were more than two people who came to the house," he added.
