Young woman stabs hubby to death over Sh500

A woman in Huruma estate was recently granted a bond of Sh 500,000 after allegedly stabbing her husband over money, causing his death. Damaris Nthoki, 18, was charged with manslaughter whereby she is claimed to have unlawfully caused the death of Shadrack Mutinda Makau on August 12 this year during the fight at their rented house in Nairobi's Huruma Estate.

Makau, who is deceased, and the accused person, according to reports, had been having endless domestic fights forcing neighbours to sometimes intervene. On the material day, Makau returned home from a drinking spree. The deceased inquired if the accused bought maize flour and veggies with the Sh500 he had left in the cupboard.
He then instructed her to collect it and use only Sh150 for the same. Moments later, the deceased promptly followed his wife to a kiosk where she had gone to buy vegetables and demanded back his money in full.
