Police in Kiambu are holding a 26-year-old Kenyan man for allegedly killing his girlfriend in cold blood.
Tairus Mwangi, an Administration Police officer based in Malindi, Kilifi County, is alleged to have fatally hit his girlfriend identified as Purity Karwirwa, 26, multiple times in the head, nose and back using a hammer in Ruaka estate on Wednesday, February 26th.
The two had dated for one-and-a-half years after meeting on Facebook, the deceased’s brother, Erick Kimathi told a local media on Saturday.
“Their relationship was full of physical abuse, with the suspect often being the aggressor,” said Kimathi.
Skitter Ntinyari, a friend of the deceased, said the two constantly quarreled on phone. “Rarely would their conversations end without the two disagreeing over an issue,” said Ntinyari.
Mwangi allegedly arrived in Nairobi on Tuesday, February 25th, and asked to meet his girlfriend the next day in a bid to solve their differences.
He picked Karwirwa in Donholm, Nairobi and took her to his sister’s home in Ruaka, where they are said to have fiercely quarreled before Mwangi reached for a hammer and attacked her. Mwangi was captured on CCTV footage later that day leaving his sister’s house, having changed his clothes.
Mwangi’s sister found Karwirwa’s body lying in a pool of blood on the floor when she arrived at her house. She reported the incident at Karuri Police Station.
Detectives tracked the suspect to a bar in Kahawa West on Thursday, February 27th using his phone signal. He was arrested and booked to Karuri Police Station pending investigations and arraignment in court.
A postmortem examination done at Kihara Level 4 Hospital morgue on Friday showed the deceased succumbed to head injuries.
Kenyan Men…wth? All of you…
Kenyan Men…wth? All of you…one tomato rots all of them. And if you feel offended by generalization, ask yourself what you have done to help a brother.
What the hell is wrong with yolls? Low self esteem, insecure, broke, no ambition. Both home and abroad, Kenyan women are battered.
What hurts more is the level of aggression – hammers, machetes, chopping limbs, stabbing eyes yaani the most painful methods. Who raised you men?
From personal observation: I am yet to meet a Kenyan man who is sure of himself. There is always a mediocrity lucking in the wings. The only men who will insult you because you are successful. Examples: A successful pilot (money wise)but suffers intellectual insecurity; his MOO, to sexually harrass. A researcher (well read and doing well) but hits the roof in a quick New York second because his date (not even a girlfriend) invited an old colleague to dinner. The rest are paranoid thieves or conmen.
Should we changa to send these our morons to training on how to grow and thrive with organized women? House/Home training for Kenyan males. Nigerians and Ghanaians and Senegalese and Lamis will be bragging of their luck in great women: how their kids will be smart, wealth protection, future secured…while Kenyan men? no. Take a hammer to her head. Aint nobody got time for this shiat.

@Seneca, you seem to have more issues than a vogue magazine… or the men you’re allegedly referring to. Domestic abuse is a worldwide problem and it actually cuts through both genders… even in Kenya! But that doesn’t fit your narrative or your high horse mentality , that or you just can’t comprehend complex issues with complex solutions

Mhutumiwa alilewa sana na mamake na labda baba yake. Inawezekana wazazi wake walikua wana mtandika sana na pia kulikuwa na vita nyumbani kwao wakati mwingi.
Wana saikologia wanafaa wafanye uchunguzi wa hivi visa vya kitisha sana.

Well, the men were not using their manhoods. Ulevi too much. If you are married, and the key reasons for marrying i.e sex & companionshio imetolewa equation, uta-do? Hihihi. Si heri watoe hako kakitu wakae hivyo tu.
Truth is that we marry for stable sex and some companionship.
