Anita was stabbed to death by her husband who is an officer of the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF), Captain Edward Muthomi, in St Mary’s area, Nakuru County.
The 29-year-old mother was stabbed after an argument with her husband. Anita was rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead a few minutes after arriving at the hospital. Muthomi was later arrested and is being held in a police cell.
According to the family, Anita and Muthomi had been involved in a long-term conflict after efforts to resolve their issues and live in peace failed. Anita had planned to divorce her husband on Saturday, the 18th and had invited her parents to her home. Speaking to journalists, the heartbroken mother of the deceased revealed that her daughter had reported that Muthomi had threatened her several times, and despite reporting to the police, nothing was done.
“Edwin used to threaten Anita. Many times he called me saying he had threatened to kill her. What I am asking is for the government to follow up on this case and ensure that justice is done. What he did to us is not something that will go away. It has hurt us forever,” Serah Mugweru shared while shedding tears.
