A manhunt has been initiated for Robinson Wanyama, a murder suspect who is suspected of killing his 32-year-old wife by stoning her to death in Nairobi, Kenya.
Wanyama allegedly killed his wife Phyllis Nyarenima that evening of December 19 by stoning her to death, according to Embu North Deputy County Commissioner William Owino.
Residents of the neighborhood were awakened by the woman’s shrill cry for assistance, and they hurried to her home where they found her pleading vehemently.
The woman was pronounced dead before she could be taken to the hospital. Owino added;
“It’s so unfortunate that the couple that had lived in peace for a long time can result to killing each other, please let us find alternative ways to solve issues in families when they arise. Even if the cost of living is too high, don’t allow it to make you kill each other but seek assistance to address them from our offices.”
After Wanyama realised that his wife had died, he went into hiding leaving behind her lifeless body and their two children.
Owino also said;
“The police are yet to unravel the cause of Wanyama killing his wife but they have launched investigations into the matter to ascertain the cause of the murder.”
He expressed his confidence that the suspect will be arrested soon to face murder charges.
The body of Nyarenima was taken to Embu Level 5 Hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem.
