A devastating incident has shaken a family in Kauwi Ward, Kitui West, Kitui County, after a 40-year-old man brutally murdered his wife and later took his own life.
According to the area chief, Mr. Thomas Munyao, the couple had been experiencing marital issues for some time, which ultimately led to the tragic event. The man allegedly stabbed his wife multiple times in the stomach with a knife, causing her to bleed to death. Afterwards, he walked about 500 meters away and hanged himself from a tree.
Chief Munyao revealed that he received a call from a resident about the discovery of the woman's body near River Kiteeti in Kauwi Location. Upon arrival, he identified the body as one of the workers at a hotel in Kabati Market. The chief noted that the couple's issues had been ongoing, culminating in the heartbreaking tragedy.
In the aftermath of the incident, Chief Munyao urged family members and citizens to seek moral support and advice from relevant authorities to resolve conflicts peacefully and avoid such tragic incidents. He also called upon church leaders to establish forums where married couples can receive guidance on coping with marital crises and strengthening family relationships.
The chief's appeal highlights the need for support systems to help families navigate challenges and prevent such devastating outcomes.
