Are people now, more than before, quick to resort to monstrous levels of violence in fixing love triangles, business deals that have gone sour, intrafamily vendetta or business rivalry? Reverend Joseph Thiong'o of ACK Cathedral Nakuru blames the spiralling trend of violence to moral decay in modern families. He singled out infidelity and feuds over matrimonial properties as the greatest triggers of domestic violence. Fr Peterson Thumi said the increasingly high levels of domestic violence and murders are an ominous sign of a society struggling to cope with too many challenges. Criminal Division Judge Lady Justice Roselyn Korir observes that domestic violence continues to be a problem in Kenya today, as evidenced by the increasing number of reported cases and murder cases ending in law courts.
