Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kandara, Murang’a County, have arrested a 65-year-old woman for the gruesome murder of her husband.

Margret Wanjiru Ndungu is accused of killing Ndung’u Mugachia, 99, on Sunday morning, 5th September in Ndururumo Village in Kigumoini.

According to the detectives, Wanjiru used a machete to slit the man’s throat, leaving his body sprawled on the floor.

Mugachia had just woken up and was warming himself by the fire in his son’s house, before he was brutally attacked by his wife.

“His daughter-in-law, Betty Wanyoike, told our Kandara-based detectives that the suspect had a quarrel with her husband, before she dashed to the kitchen and came back wielding a machete,” the DCI said in a statement.

“She then slit her husband’s neck and dealt him a final blow, by hacking his head just above the right ear.”

The body was taken to Gaichanjiru Catholic Mission Hospital mortuary.
