Man Murders Wife, Attempts Suicide, Rescued, Detained!

A man is facing a prolonged jail term after strangling his wife dead and attempting to take his own life.

The man, who is said to have wedded his wife some two years ago is said to have been having a rocky marriage that had threatened the very fabric of their union.

Neighbours confirmed that the couple were always quarreling over problems regularly.

But on the Sunday of 28th April, Mr Geoffrey Marita is said to have returned home after a drinking spree at 10pm.

His wife, had asked Geoffrey why it had taken him long to get home, and that is where all hell broke loose.

A heated argument would then ensue between the couples that was to take an unprecedented twist.

Before she knew it, Geoffrey was on Dorcah Nyaboke’s (his wife) neck, and she was puking as a result of the strangulation.

Attempts to shout fell on deaf ears as Geoffrey was tightening his grip on the already helpless woman.

It did not take long before the lady lay prostrate on the floor.

Hit by the reality of killing, Geoffrey would later carry the corpse of his wife, lay her on the bed and cover her with a warm blanket.

He was to later run towards River Kigati in Kisii and plunge himself deep into the gushing waters to be swept downstream.

But as luck would have it, two security guards who had spotted Geoffrey run towards the river while on patrol dived in to rescue him, albeit against his wish.

He was to be handed over to the police even after taking in considerable water from the suicide attempt.

Police have since revealed that Geoffrey admitted to killing his wife.
