Police arrest a man who allegedly murdered his wife in Isiolo

A man, Eric Mutwiri Mwenda, in Isiolo has been arrested by police officers for allegedly killing his wife, Celestine Nduku, a 26-year-old woman. 

Nduku was found dead last Sunday in her house at Kambi ya Juu area. 

Police arrested Mwenda Nanyuki where he was living with his cousin Earnest Kiburi after going into hiding. The cousin is also in police custody. 

The late Nduku's family, who were at her burial at the time of the arrest, hoped that Mwenda will face consequences for his actions.

Reportedly, the suspect had been arrested several times before assaulting his late wife. 

The deceased's father said, “Mungu amewezesha polisi kukamata yeye na tunataka hatua ichukuliwe.” 

“Alishikwa mara ya kwanza vile alikuwa amempiga akaachiliwa akapanga njama akamuua sasa ameshikwa tena wacha tuone kama ataachiliwa ama tutapata haki,” Nduku's brother added. 

The body of the deceased was in a pool of blood bearing several stab wounds when it was discovered by her two children. 

The two suspects will be arraigned in court on Monday.
