Kapenguria woman stabs, kills husband in domestic fight

In the Makutano Township, West Pokot County, Jua Kali region, a woman was taken into custody following a reported domestic altercation in which she fatally stabbed her husband.

Benjamin Tuko, a local housekeeper, was recognised as the deceased person.

According to the police, the suspect seized a knife and stabbed him after they had a heated disagreement earlier over marital matters.

Police stated that after being sent to Kapenguria County Referral Hospital, he was declared dead.

An exhibit was maintained when a bloodstained kitchen knife was found in the sitting area.

After the incident on December 18, police said the lady was likely to appear in court to face murder charges.

In the meantime, three suicide victims each passed away.

The Embakasi Villa neighbourhood was the scene of the first incident.

Wilson Mwangi's corpse was found in his home.

According to the police, he had strung a belt around the rooftop and hung himself.

It was not immediately clear why the incident on December 20 occurred.

According to police, the body was taken to the City mortuary for a post-mortem because there were no visible injuries.

Shadrack Korir, a 23-year-old man who worked as a gardener at Paul Kiprop Kering's house in Eldoret's Naiberi neighbourhood, was found dead, hanging from a water tank installation structure with a nylon rope around his neck.

An empty poison bottle was discovered at the site, according to the police.

His mouth was gushing dry white foam, and the left side of his face and both arms were bruised.

The reason behind the suicide is unknown, and no suicide note was discovered at the scene.

According to police, the event is being looked into.

The body of 36-year-old Chris Mutuku Mwaka was discovered hanging from an acacia tree in Tala, Matungulu, Machakos, with a nylon rope around his neck.

A suicide note that described how the deceased had joined a local cult that promoted suicide death was found.

According to the authorities, occultism is one of the main reasons for suicide in the region. The claims are now the subject of an inquiry.

After the autopsy, the bodies were taken to the mortuary.
