“This is the major reason they require a session with an expert, to enable them ask questions that may be bothering them and come to terms with the unfortunate incident,” she noted.

Last Saturday, a consultant gynecologist, who owns a private hospital at Section 58, was found unconscious in his house at the Apartments and his two children aged three and five years dead in their rooms.

The County Police Commandant, Beatrice Kiraguri, said there was a high possibility that the medic injected the children with insulin and a sharp knife found next to the minors, was a confirmation that he was determined to end their lives.
