The moment a 23-year-old man, Mark Njuguna, k!lled his four-month-old son in Gatanga Murang’a, Kenya, was captured on video.
The man is seen in the disturbing video beating his wife, Mary Muthoni, with a belt while their baby is crying on the floor.
He dashed for the infant, and his wife tried to stop him, but he shoved her away. He then grabbed the infant’s hand and threw him over the sofa.
His wife attempted to help him by running in the direction of the child, but he stopped her and continued to beat her. According to reports, the infant died after landing on the concrete floor.
The incident is said to have occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, January 25, and the suspect has been apprehended by the Kenya Police Force.
According to Mark’s father, Samuel Kiguro, the bereaved mother woke him up around 2:45 a.m. after the incident occurred. He stated that she was able to flee the house after her husband threatened to kill her if she raised an alarm.
Although the details are still sketchy, it is believed that the couple got into a heated argument after the man questioned their son’s paternity.
“My daughter-in-law came running to my house telling me that her husband had killed their baby boy,” Kiguro explained.
“We are still in shock because we don’t understand why he would commit such a heinous crime and murder an innocent child.”
The infant’s body has been deposited at the General Kago mortuary in Thika awaiting a postmortem, and the police are investigating the case.
