Police in Nairobi are investigating an incident where a man died after setting himself on fire in a car together with his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
Denis Musyoka, 34, had requested his estranged wife Elizabeth to bring their daughter to his house in Nasra Estate, Njiru, Nairobi on Sunday so that they can bond, according to a police report.
When Elizabeth arrived at his house, Musyoka allegedly entered her car and pulled out a knife before stabbing her multiple times in the neck.
“The lady managed to jump out of the vehicle and was rescued by good Samaritans. The deceased then set himself on fire in the said vehicle together with her daughter, 2.5 yrs,” reads the police report.
Elizabeth and her daughter were both rushed to Mama Lucy Hospital, where she is in stable condition. The minor has since been transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) for specialized treatment and is said to be in a critical condition.
Musyoka’s body was moved to the Mama Lucy Hospital morgue while police recovered a knife and a partly-burnt five-liter jerry can suspected to have contained petrol at the scene.
Unfortunately the child died…
Unfortunately the child died.We see these stories of lovers turning against each other with deadly out come all the time,and this one wont be the last one…
Again with sound minds, many will castigate the perpetrator and say,” why dont you just walk away…?”Well, Ihave pondered over this question each time Ihave read such astory,and concluded that,aperson who commits such acrime enters into a state of insanity,where rhyme or reason does not exist.No sane person can do what this man did.Could this have been avoided,probably if they stayed away from each other for along time,till the anger dissipated.
Experts in these matters tell us that there are are usually red flags in a relationship that would send warning signals,and ignoring these signals could be lethal. As I always say, know your partner very well before your forge a relationship.Be careful what you trade for in the relationship.For example would you trade his wealth for explosive anger?
Depression is real.
It’s…
Depression is real.
It’s time we also stop using our children as pawn or cash cows.
Not trying to justify the crime here, alot of the so called independent women are pushing men to the limit. It’s time men took a stand of if you can’t deal with her,move on,divorce, run,it might be painful but better long term.
Again folks need to understand that social media is based on people being fake.
Quick recovery to the injured and RIP to the deceased.
“independent women are…
“independent women are pushing men to the limit. It’s time men took a stand of if you can’t deal with her,move on,divorce, run,it might be painful but better long term”.@ Kora Kanini,men are facing this relationship problems world over.When over65% of women file for divorce, that tells me that women want out in marriages that dont deliver.Yes marriages that don’t deliver love, financial security,romance,excitement,orgasms,vacations in Paris.Yes it’s atall order for any man to deliver nowdays. The good thing @ Kora Kanini is that there are still alot of “un independent” women that would love just a quarter of what I have said delivered to them.
Folks dont worry, my religion SCIENCE has a solution to this quandary.Scientists, mainly in Japan have come up with robotic females.They look real, feel real,can converse,probably not cook yet,they cannot divorce you,they can even tell you that they love you.And the “dowry” is a little under $15K.Most importantly no headaches,and very faithful.For now it may not deliver every thing a man wants,buy give it time. Rome was not built in a day.But if this would solve your women problems, start saving now.I say thing tongue in cheek,but undoubtedly something has to be done about this battle of the sexes. Its heading in the wrong direction.
