Police are holding a w***n over the murder of her husband in Kaiti, Makueni county.
The deceased’s brother, who reported the incident to the police, said Veronica slashed her husband’s legs with a m*****e after a disagreement over an undisclosed matter.
The victim, who had lost a lot of b***d, was rushed to Mukuyuni sub-county hospital where he was given first aid and later referred to Makueni Referral Hospital, where he died while undergoing treatment.
It’s alleged that Veronica planted a bottle of poison at the scene of the crime to cover up her actions with claims that the man took his own life.
Area chief Francis Kimeu confirmed the incident, saying the man was threatening his wife with a panga before the w***n snatched it and used it to attack him.
“The two had a family conflict where the wife took the m*****e the husband was threatening her with and used it to attack him,” Kimeu said.
Police are currently interrogating the suspect and four other witnesses who were present during the incident.
