While most people are having the American dream at the core of their ambitions, not all is rosy even in America.
The world was shocked when the news broke that one Justus Kebabe,43, had bludgeoned his wife and suffocated his two kids to death.
What happened?
According to relatives’ accounts, Kebabe and his wife had been having a series of conflicts in their relationship. They,however, had no idea it could snowball into something as ugly as the death of three members of the family at one go.
The killings came just a few months after Kebabe was discharged from probation following a December 2008 incident of domestic violence. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct and was on probation for a year.
In a police report, Omare told a sheriff’s deputy that Kebabe had abused her repeatedly and had knocked her unconscious when they lived in Kenya.
Chilling revelation
Kebabe pleaded guilty Oct. 29, 2010 to three counts of second-degree intentional murder. He admitted that he hit his wife with a golf club, then strangled her with electrical wire. He said he gave two of the children cranberry juice laced with Tylenol PM Pills before killing Kinley by holding his head under water in the bathtub and strangling and suffocating Ivyn in her bed.
No remorse
Justus Kebabe showed no emotion and had nothing to say as he was sentenced in Ramsey County District Court to 76 1/2 years in prison for murdering his wife and two of their three children.
