The woman died while receiving treatment in the hospital after her husband hit her with a blunt object on the head on Sunday night, December 4, 2022 in Githurai 45.

The matter was reported by Ruth Kaimenyi, who was working as a house help for the family, that the man arrived home drunk around 1 am and inquired where his wife was.

“He came home drunk and asked where his wife was. I told him that she had not arrived, and he told me to get out of the house as he threatened me stating that I was supposed to know,” Ms Kaimenyi told the police.

The house help said that 30 minutes after she was kicked out of the house, Mrs Kaari arrived while in the company of a friend who she only recognized as Ms Gakii.

When the woman can't give coherent response, the man started beating her until she passed away. Her children later informed the house help that their mum is bleeding blood on her head.

All the effort to revive her was futile.

The man has been arrested and he will be prosecuted for murder.
