A woman, her son and a male friend were Tuesday found dead at Chachama government quarters on Jogoo Road in Nairobi.

The bodies of Charity Cheboi, 34, her son Allan Kipng'etich, eight, and Calvin Kimaiyo, 35, were found after neighbours broke into their house.

The bodies were discovered after the school where Kipng'etich attends called his father to find out why the son had missed classes. The boy's parents live separately.
