Authorities detained a 24-year-old woman on Monday following the fatal stabbing of her 38-year-old husband in Kitengela, Kajiado County. The victim died Sunday night at Kitengela Sub-County Hospital after sustaining a knife wound to his thigh. Medical staff declared the man dead upon arrival despite treatment attempts by hospital personnel. Police discovered a bloodied kitchen knife at the couple's rental home, which serves as evidence in the case. The suspect faces potential murder charges when she appears before the Kajiado Law Courts on Tuesday.
The woman contacted her father-in-law Sunday evening at 8:30 PM, admitting she had wounded his son with a kitchen blade. Neighbors assisted in transporting the injured man to the county-operated medical facility, where he succumbed to blood loss. The father-in-law reported that this marked another episode in the couple's troubled two-year marriage. He described previous attacks where the woman had stabbed his son in the chest and assaulted him at the family residence. Kitengela police detectives have begun investigating the domestic violence incident.
