Man Who Killed Ex-Wife for Refusing to Return Gifts After Break-up Sentenced To Prison
Kibera High Court has sentenced Viral man to 30-years in prison after he was found guilty of murdering his ex-wife back in 2018.
Judge Diana Mochache who ruled on the case, noted that the suspect did not show any remorse and had constantly denied the murder despite evidence proving beyond reasonable doubt.
The judge further highlighted that the convict’s defence of the deceased stabbing herself was not valid.
One of the eyewitnesses told the Court that after the convicted got wind of his ex-lover’s (deceased) plan to wed her new boyfriend, he promptly demanded the gifts he had bought her be returned.
The witness recounted that a quarrel ensued when her ex-lover showed indifference and hesitance in complying with the convict’s demands. The heated altercation led the convict to grab a kitchen knife which he used to stab her ex-wife.
The convict tried to disappear but was immediately arrested by a crowd that had responded to screams.
The prosecution convinced the Court that the deceased and his ex-lover had well-documented differences which were reported before.
