Nairobi: Husband Kills a Man After Catching Him in a Steamy Encounter with His Wife

A 48-year-old Nairobi man is facing murder charges after he caught another man with his wife on their matrimonial bed and killed him.

Samuel Musungu, a casual laborer in Runda returned home in the neighboring Githogoro settlement unannounced on Sunday night, only to find a man sleeping with his spouse.

In a fit of rage, Musungu reached for a piece of rock and hit the man at the back of his head, killing him on the spot, police said.

Neighbors and Nyumba Kumi elders who heard the commotion rushed to the scene, but it was too late to save the man’s life.

The deceased man was later identified as Nashon Mudovi, a 40-year-old casual laborer in the Runda neighborhood. 

“It’s something out of a horror movie. It’s horrible. It’s a nightmare,” Nyumba Kumi Chairman Richard Wamalwa said.

Detectives based at DCI Gigiri and the duty officer Runda rushed to the scene and launched a search for Musungu, who was arrested hours later. 

The suspect is being processed to answer to charges of murder contrary to Section 203 as read with Section 204 of the Penal Code.
