Police in Tharaka Nithi County are investigating circumstances under which a 24-year-old man murdered his wife by slitting her throat in Igambang’ombe.
Mr Aron Mawira, the suspect, reportedly used a kitchen knife to commit the crime to 19-year-old Joyce Njeru who died while being rushed to the hospital, several kilometres from their home where the incident happened.
The suspect is being interrogated by a team of investigators to establish the motive of the killing.
The suspect, it is claimed, has been in and out of police custody over several criminal acts.
Mr Mawira will be arraigned and charged with murder after ongoing investigations are finalised.
