Sadly the pains of love can only best be told by cold bodies lying in graves thanks to the pressure of pain and betrayal in cases that some have become a national history to be remembered as scandalous love tragedies.
A 21-year-old college student hired five men to discipline her lover following a domestic dispute but the attackers killed him instead, the Nyeri High Court heard on Thursday.
The court was told that Ms Esther Wambui, a student at Utalii College in Nairobi, masterminded the murder of her lover Dennis Okumu who was a matatu tout in Githurai.
Justice Abigail Mshilla heard that Ms Wambui together with her mother Rosemary Nyawira and a family member Michael Muriuki killed Mr Okumu on the night of February 3 and 4, 2018 within Karatina Township.
Corporal Eliud Odhiambo testified that Wambui lured her lover to her mother’s home in Karatina where she intended to discipline him for physically abusing her.
The deceased had enjoyed a meal at his in-laws’ home and was killed while being escorted to where he was to sleep.
“The family had hired five assailants to discipline the deceased but it turned tragic and they ended up killing him,” Odhiambo.
Okumu’s body was dumped at Kirimara in Mathira East sub-county and had multiple stab wounds in the neck.
