Man kills wife for misusing Ksh 500 lunch money

Police in Mombasa County on Monday evening arrested a 45-year-old father of three for allegedly murdering his wife for apparently misusing Ksh 500 he had given her to prepare lunch and dinner.

The woman allegedly failed to use the money for the intended purpose triggering a quarrel between her and the husband.

According to Ziwa La Ng’ombe village elder, Kanoti Elijah Masinde, the angry husband picked a stick and hit the wife on the head and on the abdomen leading to her death.

“The couple frequently quarreled and fought often, the relationship had challenges,” noted Mr Kanoti.

The villager elder, however, expressed disappointment in the neighbors who heard the quarrel and witnessed the fight between the couple but took no action to restrain the two from going on with the fight.

The residents condemned the incident terming the man’s action as unfortunate and that should be punished accordingly.

The man is being held atMombasa Police Station.
