Police in Nairobi has arrested a man from Githurai, 45, after his wife died in hospital following a domestic fight.
According to a police report, Florence Kaari succumbed to injuries after her husband allegedly hit her with a blunt object on the head.
The incident that happened on December 4, 2022, was witnessed by their househelp, Ruth Kaimenyi. Kaimenyi told police how her boss arrived home drunk and became violent after he was told the wife had not arrived. “I told him that she had not arrived, and she told me to get out of the house as he threatened me that I will know that we were living in his house,” Kaimenyi told the police.
When the deceased arrived, she found the househelp locked out of the house, however; she did not take the threats issued to the househelp seriously. After knocking on the door, the suspect opened, and a fight started, with the househelp watching in disbelief.
