A woman in Kiambu of Kenya has brutally stabbed her husband to death on Sunday. The woman identified as Ann Mbaithe from Ting’ang’a village has been arrested by the police at the Kiambu police station.
According to the NairobiNews, County Directorate of Criminal Investigations boss Amos Tebeny said that she is being investigated for killing Daniel Githua, 30, using a kitchen knife.
Revealing why the woman killed her husband, relatives told police that Ms Mbaithe was angry with her husband because he had arrived home past midnight and was drunk.
The two had been married for five years. Elizabeth Wanjiku, mother of the deceased, narrated how on Sunday, at around 1:15am, a motorbike pulled up at their gate and shortly after, she heard someone who she believes was her son walking towards his house.
But after less than five minutes, she heard a commotion in her son’s houses and immediately went to inquire on what was happening.
“I found both of them in the living room arguing. When I asked what was wrong, the wife, who was standing with her hands crossed over her chest, said she was bitter because of the hour my son had arrived. Githua (the deceased) interjected and said it was his house and that he had a right to arrive any hour without being questioned,” she said.
However, things got out of hand after Mr Githua yelled at the suspect, accusing her of disrespecting his mother.
It was this point that she opened her arms, revealed the kitchen knife and stabbed Mr Githua once on the left side of his chest. Mr Githua collapsed immediately.
Family and friends rushed the father of one to the Kiambu District Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. DCI boss Mr Tebeny said investigations are underway and once complete Ms Mbaithe will be charged with murder.
