Man who stabbed wife to death is sending death threats to relatives taking care of his kids - DCI

Police in Nakuru are pursuing a murder suspect believed to have stabbed to death his 41-year-old wife over marital disputes before fleeing.

The lifeless body of Winnie Chepkirui was found on March 3 this year soaked in a pool of blood in her children's bedroom, with multiple stab wounds on her belly, chest and face.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reports the suspect - Thomas Njuguna - fled the scene immediately after committing the act.

"Efforts to arrest him are underway with the Rift Valley chief detective coordinating the manhunt," the DCI says.

Preliminary investigations have revealed that the suspect has been sending death threats to relatives who have stepped in to care for his kids ever since the brutal murder.

"We appeal to anyone who may have information that could assist in tracking down the suspect to report at any police station or #FichuakwaDCI anonymously by dialing the Hotline no. 0800 722 203 any time 24/7. Usiogope!" The DCI urges Kenyans.
