A Kenyan woman in Murang'a County reportedly locked up her husband and two children as they slept, and set the house ablaze following a domestic feud.

The husband, Samuel Kimani, died in the 03:00 incident on Sunday.

Neighbours who responded to distress calls by the victims, managed to break down the door and rescue the children who were in the sitting room, Citizen TV reports.

Mary Kabura, who allegedly escaped following the incident, was found unconscious three hours later, with reports saying that she had attempted suicide by consuming a pesticide.
