Just what could make a man kill his own wife?

One’s status in society is no deterrent to these vices

In June this year, Erastus Kibage Mwangi’s lifeless body was found hanging in a lodging in Kutus, Krinyaga County. Before ending his life, Mwangi had a few days earlier killed his wife, Grace Njeri, his 11-year-old daughter Joy Wangari and five-year-old son Maxwell Wachira in Wangige, Kiambu.

According to neighbours, there was nothing to indicate that Mwangi could commit such a crime against his family members.
