On December 12, 2019, a tragic incident unfolded in Nakuru's Gorofa Estate, where a 21-year-old woman allegedly stabbed and killed her 23-year-old husband.
According to the police, the incident occurred at 9:30 am when the woman, identified as Mercy Rita Wanjiru, attempted to leave the house, but her husband, Kevin Kuria, blocked her way.
"She had her suitcase already packed but the man would not allow her to leave. An argument ensued before a fight broke out," said Nyumba Kumi Chairperson Daniel Thiong'o.
Witnesses claim that the couple had a history of frequent domestic fights, with the woman often threatening to eliminate her husband.
"They would fight almost daily. During the fights, the woman would threaten to kill her husband," said Ms Jane Kangogo, a neighbour.
The suspect, who is said to be a businesswoman, is being held at Nakuru Central Police Station, while the man's body was moved to Nakuru Level Five hospital mortuary.
"Investigations are ongoing, the suspect will be taken to court on Friday," said Nakuru County Police Commander Stephen Matu.
