Police to apply for order to detain nanny who stabbed children

Detectives on Sunday questioned the boyfriend of Gladys Naliaka, the house help who is accused of using a panga to attack her former employer’s children in Nairobi’s Donholm estate.

The mother of the two boys also recorded statement with police over the incident which left them nursing serious head injuries.

Sources privy to investigations have informed Citizen TV that the accused had threatened to cause harm in the family after she was relieved off her duties three weeks ago.

Police will be seeking an order to detain her for seven days to conclude investigations when she is arraigned in court on Monday.

Among the things detectives want to establish is the motive of the attack. They will also be seeking for clues on where the weapon used in Thursday’s attack was disposed.
