City man commits suicide after domestic squabble
A man committed suicide in his house in Mwiki, Kasarani, on Thursday night just moments after he had assaulted his wife.
According to his wife, Judy Wangari, who reported the incident to the police, her husband came home in the evening drunk and told her that he had lost his friend and she was next.
The 29 year old man started to punch his wife while their two-year-old daughter watched. But the woman managed to pick her daughter and sought refuge at one of their neighbours house.
The heavily drunk man followed them and continued assaulting and insulting both his wife and the neighbour. After a while he left and went back to his house.
Ms Wangari later went to her house and found her husband having hanged himself with a leather belt.
Meanwhile, a 60-year-old woman died after reportedly jumping out of a moving matatu along the busy Thika Superhighway on Wednesday.
The woman hit her head on the pavement and was rushed to a nearby hospital but later died while undergoing treatment. The matatu has been detained as the police investigate the case.
