In a statement to the police, Warunge confessed to having planned the grisly slaugter of his family members three months prior.
He added that he had drawn inspiration from the killer in "Killing Eve", a TV series.
The prime suspect also added that two crime and murder novels also gave him ideas on how to execute the murders.
Warunge also told police that his girlfriend, Muthoni, purchased the knives he used for the bizarre killings.
