A Kenyan couple is admitted in a US hospital following what the police are calling a โ€œsuspected case of attempted murder suicide.โ€ Police spokesperson Lisa Holland says that officers were called into an apartment complex in the City of Roswell, Georgia on Monday morning after a woman, Emily Mokua, was seriously wounded in the chest following a scuffle with her husband. โ€œA neighbour called 911 after a 16-year-old boy ran into their house saying there was a problem at his apartment,โ€ said Holland. When officers arrived, they found the boy’s mother bleeding profusely from a stab wound on the chest while his father, Obadiah Mokua, lay on the floor unconscious.ย  โ€œThey didnโ€™t look too good,โ€ she said. By the time of filing this story, the woman was undergoing surgery at Northย Fultonย Hospital while the man was being treated for poison ingestion. A spokesperson at Fulton North hospital told a media briefing Monday evening that the woman was in a โ€œcritical but stable condition.โ€

ย He, however, did not divulge any information on whether Mr Mokuaโ€™s condition had improved. At the time of the incident, there were three children in the house, ages 16, 6 and 3. They were taken by police to a shelter for abandoned children after the incident. โ€œThey are at the Department of Family and Children Services (DFACS),โ€ said Euphemia Gitau, a sister to Obadiah Mokua. Ms Gitau told the Nation that the family was shocked by the incident. โ€œWe didnโ€™t see this coming. There were no signs of an impending fight,โ€ she said. Police said they are carrying out further investigation on the incident. โ€œThey have cordoned off the crime scene and would not let us into the apartment, said Mr George Gitau, a brother-in-law to Mr Mokua. The incident comes barely three months after the body of a Kenyan man was found hanging from a tree at Lafayette Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. Police ruled out foul play saying the 61-year-old Jeffrey Kilibwa, committed suicide.
