A case in which Kenyan woman Riziki Cherono is charged with the murder of her Dutch husband Herman Rouwenhorst has taken a fresh twist.
This is after it emerged that Cherono was also married to the tycoon’s brother identified as William Rouwenhorst, according to documents filed at Mombasa High Court.
In a sworn affidavit produced before Justice Ann Ong’injo, detective Ruben Mwaniki revealed that Cherono planned, procured and facilitated the perpetrators, who killed her husband at their apartment in Shanzu, Mombasa on June 4th.
“The respondent claims to have been married to the deceased (Herman) but we have established through a marriage certificate that she was the wife to William Rouwenhorst, a brother to the deceased. They sired a child with the said brother of the deceased,” said Mwaniki.
Mwaniki also produced a marriage certificate to prove that Cherono was married to Herman’s brother William. He also provided a birth certificate of a child Cherono allegedly had with William.
Cherono also sired two children with the late Herman. The two children have been lined up as prosecution
witnesses in the case.
“Since the arrest of her accomplices, we have received evidence that the respondent authored the crime by planning, procuring and facilitating the perpetrators for her own benefit,” said Mwaniki.
The said accomplices include Cherono’s former employee Mary Nekesa Ambani (33) and Timothy Omondi Ngoe alias Rashi (22).
“The accused person gave a key to the perpetrators to access the house on the material date when the murder was executed. The accused was persistent when the murder was not committed on two previous occasions,” said Mwaniki.
55-year-old Rouwenhourst and his guard Evans Bokoro (23) were found brutally murdered at the tycoon’s Rocco apartments in Shanzu. Rouwenhourst’s body was found on his matrimonial bed with injuries on the head, hands, and legs tied and mouth gagged.
On Thursday, Cherono pleaded not guilty to charges of killing Herman and his security guard Evans Pole Boroko, saying she was just a scapegoat to save the face of investigators. The case is set for pre-trial on August 16th.

@ Mahandas, I do have a problem if there old geezers are mentaly incapacitated then taken advantage of by these Kenyan young women.However,if the trade of is deemed fair,I see no problems. The old geezer enjoys the comfort of ayouthful body,and she in turn enjoys financial security.What is the problem there?Nobody is forcing these adults to do what is against the law. What say you?

Wewe wacha! Its not a ‘wakale’ thing. The other day the news was about Wairimu killing Cohen, another Dutch/Kenyan – and hiding his body in a well. Have peole from your tribe never killed anyone? Its not about tribe!!
@Mwangi very true this…
@Mwangi very true this issues are not on tribal bases whatsoever.
Most likely the concerned parents and or the doer himself/herself were never God fearing people.
Nowadays people just showing off they attain prayers but deep in they heart not for the sake of the creator. The Oneness of all mankind and the heavens.
To reach that point a person should ask himself a question what have I done good in secrecy that pleases God
I’m neither a kale or a…
I’m neither a kale or a kikuyu! But every time I open my eyes all I hear is wakale starting with your DP Ruto have killed this and that…. I hear wakale have stolen this and that…
It begins to hold some water that wakale ni wanyama when it come to killings as your mkale DP also killed women and children by burning them in a church!
Straighten your tribe from getting involved in these wakatili stuff of killings and stealings, and worse of corruption!
People are losing confidence in wakale and your bad name keep going down as your crimes mount to higher levels…
Just look at how ugly…
Just look at how ugly looking woman this German man married! He should have known the woman was a murderer on the first sight!
How do you leave your family in Germany to come marry a whore in Kenya?? Cats and mouse have never played together.
You can’t marry an ugly poor woman and expect her to stick with you without looking at your material side of your pockets.
Stay armed and have the drop…
Stay armed and have the drop on the perpetrators.

Were the brothers RETARDED or what?
If knowingly they shared the same wife, then the marriages were null and void.
. Which is also a criminal offense.
The marriage registrar is to…
The marriage registrar is to blame here of issuing double certificate of marriage to the same name. Wait maybe he also sired one of the child…lol
FACT: Women Prisons ought to be increased and with longer sentences since more of they act are purely sneak-like
MuKenya is silent on the so…
MuKenya is silent on the so many murders committed by ”Americans” in Kenya.Both Cherono and William might have killed Herman together targeting to inherit his property together.How can you marry your in-law while still married to your sibling?

Kuna wazazi wengi wazuri na wengine wabaya… Watoto, grow and they chose their own paths in life. Doesn’t mean their parents nurtured or taught them to be murderers, thieves etc. Everyone decides after they are adults what path to take in life. Good or evil.

If you do the crime, you must do the time. Auaneni tu, mtalipa na mali hamtakula eh..
