Murang’a,Kenya:A teacher allegedly hacked his wife to death in Kandara district, Murang’a County over claims she had joined a devil-worshipping cult.
The accused, is said to have used an axe to slit the throat of Rosaline Wambui killing her on the spot. The incident occurred at their Karigu-ini village near Kenol market on Saturday morning.
Residents said the couple’s four-year-old son who witnessed the incident told neighbours that his father slit his mother’s throat before fleeing.
Irate neighbours rushed to the couple’s house breaking the door only to find a mutilated body lying on a pool of blood.
Perhaps in fear of public anger, the assailant presented himself to an Administration Police officer attached at Kenol District headquarters.
Murang’a South OCPD Mr Antony Onyango confirmed the incident saying the father of three surrendered himself and an axe suspected to be the murder weapon to police. “We have the suspect in custody and are talking to him with a view of preferring a murder count upon completion of investigations,” said Onyango.
