More trouble has descended on the family of late Nakuru Doctor James Gakara who died a few days after he allegedly killed his two children.
While the family is mourning the death of the three, Dr. Gakara’s elder sister Mary Gakara has been hospitalized over shock-related ailments.
According to the family, Mary was overwhelmed by the tragedy they are facing pushing her into extreme shock leading to her hospitalization.
“It has been the hardest time for the family accepting the ordeal. Mary was so close to the late Dr Gakara. But we are trying our best in helping her and the other sisters.
“We have since decided as a family to engage a counsellor to help Mary and Dr Gakara’s other sisters who have been struggling to come to terms after the incident," the Gakara family spokesperson Burton Njoroge told the Nation.
