A 25-year-old woman has on Monday been killed by her estranged husband in Nyaribo, Nyeri County.
Mary Wangui, a mother of two children, has been hacked to death by her estranged husband David Karuru.
Karuru is said to have trailed Wangui to her house where he attacked and killed her.
The deceased’s housemate Catherine Karimi says that the two had earlier engaged in an argument at a shopping center where Ms. Wangui operates a potato chips business before he followed her home.
Ms. Karimi says she left the house to answer a call of nature at around 1 am when the suspect sneaked in and committed the act.
She rushed back to the house upon hearing Ms. Wangui and her child cry for help only to find her bleeding from the neck. The suspect fled after committing the crime.
Nyeri Central Sub-County Police Commander Paul Kuria says officers have launched a manhunt for the suspect.
“He took off as soon as he committed the act. We are currently looking for him,” Kuria says.
The incident comes days after a 30-year-old woman was stabbed 17 times by her husband in Mathira, Nyeri County over the weekend.
Peninah Wangechi is currently nursing serious injuries at Karatina Hospital. The suspect, Samuel Ndirangu later surrendered himself to the police and is set to be arraigned in court.
As men in Mt Kenya drink…
As men in Mt Kenya drink themselves into oblivion or wait for the government handouts, women in Nyeri have dissed them,taken upon themselves to feed their families and give their children a better life. It is these same men who are acting jealous, think they own the women and the only way out is to kill them. Something needs to be done to these loosers and now. Enough is enough.
I’m not sure which Nyeri…
I’m not sure which Nyeri everyone keeps generalizing about based on an article, but the part of Nyeri I come from has stable homes and no one is hacking anyone to death and no, people are not drinking themselves to oblivion . Might want to visit the region someday. I didn’t expect that generalization from you Mugikuyu **sigh***
@Formerlyguest2 your…
@Formerlyguest2 your village maybe very lucky to not face the menace. The following was taken four years ago and I can tell you it has gotten bad, really bad. Did you hear nursery schools were closing cos the population was decreasing in Nyeri? For one, the men are not able to procreate thanks to the toxic kumi kumis.

So one Village constitutes…
So one Village constitutes the whole of Nyeri County?
If your village is doing…
If your village is doing well, good for you but others are not doing that well anyway. That said women in Nyeri are doing very well, unilaterally holding homes together and that in itself should be commended, period. If you want to sweep the dirt under the rug thats your prerogative but lets give credit where its due.
If you are not from Nyeri,…
If you are not from Nyeri, your touristic view of a county with over 1 million shows pettiness and childish prejudice. I dont need to hide anything in the rug, one YouTube clip doesn’t make it so. I’m not naive as a human to generalize a whole population. Where are you from?I bet I can find a few stereotypes and YouTube clips and I will demonize the whole lot! There is a lot of positive in Nyeri but you dont have to see it with your rose colored glasses of prejudice!

Women in Nyeri wear ants. A home in Nyeri that is not controlled by a woman is always bound to fail. Women are the cornerstone of Nyeri culture and they are the ones that keeps families glued together. Nyeri men’s deficiency and jealousness has resulted in the current spike of cruel murder we are witnessing. Nyeri women are being hacked from left to right at unprecedent rate in history-Three within the last two weeks. Nyeri women I have had pleasure with have always complained of Nyeri men been unable to raise to the occasion in the bed. One of the biggest complain Nyeri woman have on their men is the size of their male sex anatomy. They claim it’s naturally too small and does not harden enough
I’m from Nyeri ( a woman)…
I’m from Nyeri ( a woman) and what you have written is utter rubbish.You can generalize much, can’t you. Every home in Nyeri is not made of what you describe useless garbage! I ‘m who I’m because of the men in my family, their hard work, tenacity. Every county has its devils and angels, next time try to be objective.
I hope you don’t wear PANTS…
I hope you don’t wear PANTS like Nyeri women do.
None of your business…
None of your business pathetic comment
I totally disagree with you…
I totally disagree with you Mluchake especially on the issue of sex anatomy. Sex anatomy depend on individuality not on cultural affiliation. I am a woman and I am from Nyeri and I can tell you there is nothing wrong with Nyeri men sex anatomy. However, I agree with you when you say Nyeri men are not good performers in bed. I have had to dump three of them and look for a boyfriend outside my culture because of their poor performance and unsatisfactory results. I am in my early thirties and in prime of my sex drive. Nyeri men feels intimidated in bed and let women take charge which is a turn off. Women all over the World including Wakurinos like exotic men who are not shy of sex toys. They also don’t like men who are always on their tits. Nyeri men need to built self-confidence and maybe there will be less hacking
It takes two to tango, maybe…
It takes two to tango, maybe you are not as good yourself 🙂
Wrong. I have always been…
Wrong. I have always been told I have tight stuff. All the three men I dumped went crazy after dumping them. One of them forced me to reallocate to somewhere in the Cost because he couldn’t stand being dumped and was constantly threating me. I could have been like Ivy. My man get satisfied with me in bed. Nyeri men need to grow up and stop killing women over jealousness. No wonder when we women get fed up with them we go for the thing that starts it all-their tiny Winnie. At least that is better than hacking
Too much info 🙂 pole, ha…
Too much info 🙂 pole, ha ha haha
Hongereni sana wanawake wa…
Hongereni sana wanawake wa kutoka Nyeri kwa misimamo yenu mikali na pia mizuri ya kukinga na kusimamia familia zenu.
Wanawake wengine wote wa Kenya wanafaa kufuata mifano yenu mizuri ya kukuza na kuendeleza familia wakati wanaume huwa wamepotelea kwenye ulevi wa kunywa pombe haramu.
Are Nyeri women really…
Are Nyeri women really complaining that their men dont know how to mount satisfactorily?This is pleasant news to me.Ithink my extra large package would be well received there…
Anyway, jocking aside,there is more to sayisfying awoman sexually than just having a super mazembe.It starts with seduction and romance way before the lights in the bed room are turned off.How the hell will she even want to conoodle with you if you are not pulling in your end of responsibilities.Drinking too much is also aturn off to women all over the world.
Unfortunately not too many african men are willing to be educated on female sexuality. My religion SCIENCE says that women are slow warmer kama pasi,so you patienly take time to warm them up with sweet,loving,and romantic words …as your gently touch her…Not there yet.If invited,Iwill come there and offer some free introductory lessons.
Equally, there are women who…
Equally, there are women who cannot seduce a man to kuamsha( I can’t believe I said that) but ni ukweli hence it takes two to tango! Stop blaming men, us women esp Kenyan women are very conservative regardless of the region and I have heard that from dume’s like you, sooooooooooooo wacheni kuonea Nyeri Men. I have brothers, cousins etc who seems to have happy families 🙂
Yeah you said it.Dont be…
Yeah you said it.Dont be bashful. This is education at mwakilishi University.
I’m a typical Nyeri woman…
I’m a typical Nyeri woman remember,I protect family good or bad, not airing dirty laundry za watu wetu hadharani, hiyo nu kukosa mila na adabu, that is what my grandpa would say-
Hiyo umesema Ndugu @Imara ni…
Hiyo umesema Ndugu @Imara ni kweli. While other Kenyan women wanavumilia wanaume ambao kazi tu ni kukunywa, kukula na kunini….., Nyeri women have said NO.
Ndugu @Njai: Mimi binafsi…
Ndugu @Njai: Mimi binafsi nawaheshimu sana wanawake wa kutoka Nyeri. Wanakuambia mambo ambayo wanafikiria ili ujue hali ya uhusiano wako na yeye umesimama wapi. Mwanamke wa kutoka Nyeri kama anakupenda, anakuonyesha wazi mapenzi yake kwako. Ningependa kuona wanawake wote wa dunia nzima wakiiga (imitate) mfano huu mzuri wa wanawake wa kutoka Nyeri.
