‘Killing Eve,’ the Netflix series, has been trending in Kenya since early this New Year, following the horrible murders of a father, mother, their son, his cousin, and family worker in Karura, Kiambaa, Kiambu.

This is because the main suspect, a 22-year-old lad, told investigating officers that he was influenced by this series, and specifically inspired by the psychopathic female assassin character in it called Villanelle.
