Let’s stem the tide of spousal murders

-Editorial

It seems the Grim Reaper has hit Kenyan families hard with worrying numbers of spouses killing each other. Officials say they handled 29 cases of either husbands or wives murdering their significant half. Hardly a week goes without news of a husband taking on his wife or children, or a wife doing the reverse.  The marriage institution is facing precarious times and urgent intervention is needed. Counselors, religious leaders, opinion shapers and elders must now swing into action to forestall the tragic trend.
