Sharon Wangare, the woman who stabbed her five-year-old son to death before attempting suicide has confessed that after dinner on Saturday night (March 16, 2019), she made a concoction of drugs and took it together with her son, Maurice Karanja, because she wanted to die and not leave him behind.
In a statement recorded after the murder and attempted suicide, Ms Wangare said she woke up at some minutes to midnight to find that they were both alive and that she immediately started planning to execute her ‘Plan B’.
“I was disappointed when I woke up at midnight to find that we were both alive after taking poison the previous night,” she said.
She said that she finally decided to take a kitchen knife, stabbed her son four times and then sat there as she waited for his heart to stop.
She would then use the same knife to stab herself in an attempted suicide but not before texting her boyfriend to update him and ask him to come for their bodies.

“Jaribu kukuja kwetu ama mazishi utajua maiti iko na mashetani ni mimi,” read the text Ms Wangari had sent him the previous evening.
