the fatal stabbing of his wife, 47-year-old Elizabeth Wambui, in a tragic incident that
occurred on June 14th,
2026, in Mwihoko, Kiambu County.
According to a report filed at Mwihoko Police Station,
a domestic altercation broke out at Wambui’s shop in the Delta area of Mwihoko

During the confrontation, the husband stabbed her on the

have been used in the attack, which has since been secured as an exhibit.
