Faith Wangu’s mutilated body was discovered dumped in a thicket in Menengai Crater on Saturday, November 16. Her left arm and left breast were chopped off. Her face was doused in what is believed to be acid.
Joseph Mwangi, the victim’s brother, told Citizen TV that John Muchiri had repeatedly abused his sister over the past 6 years until she finally decided to leave Muchiri in late 2018.
“Their marriage has not been straight for long, the guy was a threat. For the last six years that they have been together, the marriage was hell. Once when she gave birth and the child was two weeks old, he beat her up badly,”her brother narrated.
According to a report by seen by Kenyanbulletin.com, Faith left Muranga to take her two young daughters to visit their aunt who lives in Nakuru. The kids were going to stay with the aunt for the December holidays.
She was supposed to drop the children off on Saturday, November 9, and return home the next day.
However, she changed plans at the last minute and decided to visit her estranged husband, Joseph Muchiri, who also lives in Nakuru in an attempt to solve their marital problems.
The report further indicated that she informed a childhood friend of the plan to meet her lover at a popular entertainment joint in Nakuru Town once here two children aged 2 and 6 were safe with their aunt.
Police in Nakuru immediately launched a manhunt for Muchiri, the estranged lover, said to be on the run.
