‘She Begged Me To Go Tell Her Mother She Was Going Through A Lot In The Marriage, Then…

She obviously had a premonition of what was to befall her, telling a neighbor to go inform her mother that she was going through a lot in her marriage.

By the next morning, she had been killed by her husband in the most gruesome manner: she had her throat slit like a chicken’s.

The above was the account of a neigbour to sympathisers. Not only that, the man attempted taking his life by jumping into the well.

Neither the 25 year old man nor his victim-wife was named in the account by The Nation, but Ms Caroline Chebet, a resident, said neighbours rushed to the scene where they found the body of the victim in a pool of blood.

“The victim, who was my close friend, came the previous evening and informed me that she was going through a hard time with her husband. She urged me to go and tell her mother about her troubled marriage,” said Ms Chebet.

After committing the act, the man reportedly but unsuccessfully tried to jump into a 60-metre deep well, but was rescued.

Kuresoi North Police Commander James Ademba said: “The suspect killed his wife inside their sitting room; we have launched investigations to establish the motive behind the murder.

“The suspect will be arraigned in court once investigations are complete.

Police officers had a difficult time controlling onlookers that thronged the place.

Mr Julius Ndirangu said the victim was a polite and humble woman while her husband worked as a casual worker in the area.

“Abuse of drugs and consumption of illicit brew could have made the suspect brutally kill his wife,” said Mr Ndirangu.

His words were echoed by Stephen Sang who said many youths in the area have engaged themselves in alcoholism.

Neighbours said after the incident, the suspect rushed to his mother and urged her to pick up the child from the murder scene.

The victim’s mother, who lived nearby, said the victim was her firstborn child. She had three children.
