Warunge previously confessed to detectives that he was inspired by hit TV show ‘Killing Eve’ to commit the murders.
He confessed that he chose to eliminate the four members of his nuclear family because they were talking ill of him behind his back.

The four family members were buried on Saturday at their home.
