In Kisii County, a tragic case of domestic violence has resulted in the death of a 30-year-old woman after a violent altercation with her husband. The incident took place in Nyamache, where the couple had spent the evening together before heading home. Tensions flared after the husband allegedly saw his wife speaking to another man at a nearby shopping centre. This sparked a heated argument between the two, and the situation escalated when the husband physically assaulted his wife.
According to reports, the argument grew intense, but the husband later claimed that they had settled the dispute before going to bed. However, when he woke up the following morning, he found his wife lying motionless on the bed. Concerned neighbors who had heard the commotion during the night were shocked by the news, as the victim was known to be a quiet and friendly individual.
Upon arriving at the scene, police discovered the victim’s body with visible signs of injury. The suspect was promptly arrested, and the body was transported to Nyamache Sub-County Hospital mortuary for a postmortem. Authorities are continuing to investigate the extent of the assault and the circumstances surrounding the wife’s death, determining whether the husband will face charges of murder or manslaughter.
This incident highlights the disturbing rise in domestic violence incidents, often triggered by jealousy and unresolved conflicts. The authorities in Kisii County have assured the public that justice will be served as investigations unfold.
In a separate and equally disturbing incident, police in Kilifi County discovered the decomposed body of a 75-year-old woman, who had been missing for nearly two weeks. Her remains were found in a ditch in the Kisimani area, and initial investigations suggest she may have been murdered before her body was discarded in the remote location.
Meanwhile, in Mombasa, three men were arrested in connection with the brutal murder of a man whose body was found at the Mama Ngina Waterfront. The victim, identified only as Njoroge, was discovered naked with his limbs tied and a polythene bag wrapped around his head. Preliminary findings suggest he was strangled before being discarded at the seafront.
In another tragic event in Meru County, a tree trimmer died after falling from a tree while working. The man, identified as Mutembei Muthoi, sustained severe injuries, including broken limbs and facial injuries. Despite attempts by residents to rush him to the hospital, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
As investigations continue in all these cases, the authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
