Luhya Man Tries To Cook Baby After Fight With Wife

A 28-year-old man from Shinyalu attempted to cook his infant baby after a bitter fight with his wife.

The sam identified as Mirimo took his three-weeks-old baby and tried to shove her into a boiling three-legged pot but failed because the pot was full of pumpkins and mealies.

The area police spokesperson Geoffrey Omole confirmed the heinous incident and said the accused was in police custody helping with investigations.

“We received a report of a man who killed his three-weeks-old daughter under bizarre circumstances. I can confirm the man is in police custody and is helping us do our investigations,” said Omole.

Sources said Mirimo was at home with his 24-year-old brother, his aunt (his mother’s elder sister) Imelda Maluku (64) and his nursing wife Anita when he allegedly committed the grisly crime at around 19:00hrs on March 25.

It all started when Anita received a text message and asked her husband Mirimo to read it for her as she could not do it herself due to failing eyesight.

Mirimo, however, took the phone and after reading the text, got angry and threw it into the fire. His wife Anita quickly retrieved it and admonished him for it.

An angry Mirimo then left the outside fireplace and went into the kitchen hut where he repeatedly attacked his wife with a blunt object.

It is not yet clear what the contents of the text message were that angered Mirimo that much.

Sensing grave danger, she managed to escape but Mirimo followed in hot pursuit, picked a brick which he threw at her but missed.

“He went back in the kitchen and picked up the baby and smashed her head onto the floor. He then tried to shove the child into a three-legged pot that was on the fireplace outside but failed because it was full of pumpkins and mealies,” said a source.

“Mirimo then dropped the baby onto the ground where she lay bleeding until Dikinya came back and tried to administer first aid. It was, however, too late as the child had already died. It remains unknown what angered Mirimo so much that he would do what he did,” the source said.

The old lady then called other villagers and effected a citizen’s arrest against Mirimo before he was handed over to the police.
