A 25-year-old woman was on Saturday arrested on allegations she stabbed her husband to death in Kangema sub-county, Murang’a county.

Dorcas Waigwe is said to have killed Julius Njuguna, 25, at their home in Gacharaigu village during a domestic squabble.

Njuguna died while receiving treatment at Murang’a General hospital where he was rushed.

Kangema DCIO Peter Wahome said neighbours heard a commotion in the young couple’s home and responded, only to find the man lying in a pool of blood.

He said a neighbour, who is also a relative, called for a taxi and together with his wife, they rushed Njuguna to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Wahome said after Njuguna died, those who took him to hospital reported the matter to Murang’a police station after which the man’s wife was arrested for questioning.

He said Waigwe will be arraigned on Monday.

Neighbours reported that the young couple has been having constant quarrels.

The incident followed barely a month after Gatunguru principal Samuel Mbogo was murdered in his home in Gakurwe.

The principal’s wife Alice Mugechi is facing a murder charge over the same.

Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege said she will organise seminars to train men on how to deal with domestic squabbles.

She noted that cases of women harming their husbands are on an alarming increase in Murang’a county.

“There is a need to establish what is happening in homes to prompt such actions. The seminars will focus on how men need to love their wives and keep peace in their families.”
