33-year-old Martha Waithera Kibiru was killed by her come-we-stay husband of three years Moses Leparani after they had sex in her house in Lakeview estate, Nakuru.
Martha hosted Moses in her house on Monday August 30th for a night of passion with unfortunately turned tragic for her.
Neighbors were woken up at night by screams from Martha’s 10-year-old son who was crying that his mother had been killed by Moses who had escaped.
The neighbors found the young boy crying by his mother’s bedroom door which had been locked from outside.
Upon breaking the door, the neighbors found Martha’s lifeless body lying naked on her bed with several physical injuries and with blood coming out of her private parts.
“We visited the scene alongside police and investigating officers where we found the lady with some physical injuries and blood on her private parts. We have been informed that she spent the better part of yesterday with the man who is believed to be her come-we-stay husband, and there are no details of any misunderstanding,” Nakuru East Deputy County Commissioner Erick Wanyonyi told the press.
“Moses is said to be a businessman selling maize from Narok and he occasionally visited Martha’s house, but after the incident, he is now nowhere to be seen,” Wanyonyi added.
Nakuru East DCIO Benson Mutie suggested that Moses and Martha could have been embroiled in a physical altercation that caused her death.
“At the moment, it is not clear what transpired, but it seems like a love affair gone sour since there is evidence that Moses had spent the night at Waithera’s place,” Mutie said.
Martha’s body was taken to Nakuru Municipality morgue pending postmortem examination to determine cause of death as police launched a manhunt for Moses.
