Stephen Nyangeri Mauti at Milimani Law Courts Nairobi

A Nairobi court has arraigned a man identified as  Stephen Nyangeri Mauti,  for allegedly killing his wife, Faith Nyatichi, after she told him he was not good enough when they had sexual intercourse.

The incident, according to k24tv, occurred at Kangemi dumpsite within Kangemi sub-county, Nairobi county on October 3, 2021.

According to a cover report produced in court on Friday, October 14, the deceased visited the accused in Kangemi Hill view area where they have rented a house after relocating from Nyeri where they were staying as a couple since August 2021.

It is alleged that the deceased left her husband to go visit her ‘cousin’ in Kiserian and after a while, he called her to know when she would be back only for her to inform him she had travelled to the village.

"On further inquires, the accused was informed that his wife has no relatives in Kiserian and that she had not travelled to the rural area” the report read in part.

The accused claimed he asked his wife’s brother who informed him that they do not have a cousin in Kiserian

It is alleged that on October 1, 2021, the accused received a call from his wife promising to visit him since he was unwell.

True to her promise, she visited. On arrival, she prepared lunch which they took together, then went for a leisure walk within Kangemi market and later returned to their home. The deceased prepared supper which they ate and went to bed.

According to the police report, they had a conversation but did not reach an agreement since the deceased kept crying so they had sex and slept.

On October 3, 2021, they woke up and the deceased prepared breakfast. As they were taking tea, the accused is alleged to have convinced her not to leave him for another man.

The accused in his statement stated that after the breakfast he confronted her with the truth that she was living with another man. He says the woman then started shouting at him that he is not man enough after the night experience.

The accused told the police that he grabbed her and tried to calm her by blocking her mouth to no avail.

He says he thought she had calmed down when she went silent only to realise she was unconscious. He called neighbours to rush her to hospital but she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Nairobi Senior Principal Magistrate, Bernard Ochoi has ordered a mental examination to be carried out on the accused person in order to ascertain his mental status before sentencing him on October 17, 2021.
