KENYA – Police in Nakuru County have arrested a woman accused of fatally stabbing her husband at their home in Rongai constituency.
The woman identified as Caroline Chebet, 37, allegedly stabbed Alphonse Ochieng, 27, following a domestic dispute.
Neighbours say the couple has been experiencing frequent wrangles for some time now, and interventions to try and reconcile them have remained futile.
“Their wrangles started at midnight and it was normal to us because they always scuffle. We heard the lady screaming saying that someone’s child will die and we thought those are their private matters so no neighbor stepped out. We later heard that he died,” said Ochieng Otieno, a neighbor.
Speaking after the incident, Ochieng’s brother Stephen Otieno said that he arrived at the hospital where he learn that his kin was stabbed in the abdomen.
“I was referred to Annex Mortuary where I found my brother lying there with a stab wound. He was stabbed deep in the abdomen. I came here to view his body,” he said.
