Over the weekend, a man from Chuka (Kabururu village) in Tharaka Nithi County’s Igamba Ng’ombe constituency murdered his daughter and wife under mysterious circumstances.
This comes as Kenyans are yet to come to terms to the untimely demise of Agnes Tirop, a long-distance runner that was killed by her husband. The 25-year-old Olympic star was laid to rest last week in Nandi County.
It seems the spirit of killing spouses after disputes is here with us. The Tharaka Nithi County residents are in shock after another man killed his wife in cold blood.
The angry man stabbed Jacinta Murugi many times before turning the knife on her six-year-old daughter and chopping off her head. It was a scene from hell for those that visited the area.
According to relatives and neighbors who arrived first and alerted the police, the two lovers had marital issues. The issues even separated them for a few years. This is now becoming a serious red flag in Kenya.
If a couple separates for some time and decide to get back together, close family members should be very careful.
