Mzungu Commits Suicide After Kenyan Wife and In-Laws Disinherits Him of Property Worth Millions

Mzungu Commits Suicide After Kenyan Wife and In-Laws Disinherits Him of Property Worth Millions

Detectives have opened a probe into an incident where an 82-year-old German-born man committed suicide by shooting himself after his Kenyan wife and relatives allegedly disinherited him of property worth millions of shillings.

Wolfgang Theodor Fischer, who acquired Kenyan citizenship by naturalization, had lived in Kenya for nearly three decades and was married to a 62-year-old Kenyan woman named Veronicah Ndinda.

The octogenarian is said to have written a suicide note to Diani police station OCS giving details of his troubled marriage and how he struggled to pay for his cancer treatment after losing his savings and property to his wife and in-laws.

His lifeless body was found lying in a pool of blood in his Diani home, where a pistol, spent and unspent rounds of ammunition were also recovered. His wife told police that she found him dead when she returned to the house from church.

A close German friend said the deceased’s in-laws frustrated him, leading to suicidal thoughts.

“The tycoon had wrangles with in-laws over properties and was also suffering from cancer. He was depressed after losing money and land to people he claimed he was familiar with. I tried comforting and supporting him but all was in vain,” he told a local daily.

Some suspects, including his wife and in-laws, have since been questioned by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in relation to his death.

Police said they will use the evidence collected from the scene of crime and witnesses to expedite the probe into the German’s death.

    Tob Cohen must be Turning in his Grave; Angry and Upset that the Same people who Killed him are at it again.

    Indeed Cohen is really smoking down there! I thought Kamba women were better wife material!? I guess I keep my kikuyu girl!

    You cannot trust those wives, especially the younger ones. They are always looking for ways to have you gone. Buyer beware.

    20 yrs a Woman younger here is no Big deal. We have cases of 50 yrs younger; it's far unlike Anna Nicole Smith - born 1967 (62 yrs younger than her (then) husband J. Howard Marshall- born 1905.

    When you marry into a foreign culture make sure you maintain relations with your family so that they can have your back when things go south.Not everything that glitters is gold and history has shown in laws are to be tolerated but not to be trusted

    The younger wife (Jamba, not a kikuyu this time) was scheming behind the guys back! She involved her family because all she wanted was the guy’s wealth!

    The guy tried to do the right thing as he intended to live all his wealth to his wife as they legally do inGermany! But the woman got inpatient and greedy and couldn’t wait for the old guy to die a natural death to inherit his wealth. All she secretly intended was to run away with his money and other material things! Ya! Living in a material world is real!

    Marry a Kenyan woman, especially a Kyuk, at the risk of your life. I am a bit surprised this is a Kao, still a cousin to a kyuk. Kikuyu women are the most notoriously money minded women I know. They’ll kill or mess marriages just because there’s no enough money in the family and will often ensure a rich guy is gone so that they can enjoy the money. They have the highest representation in Koinange st & anywhere in Kenya where wet cracks are on sale. I admit, though, that a few of them are still very good women but to come across one is akin to looking for a pin in a stack of hay.

    @Mlachake, get off Koinange street and travel to a place called Murang'a and you will get some good ones. You can not judge a whole tribe through the lenses of your own whore-ism.

  9. MaxileyMar 12, 2021

    @ Mlachake,that's avery egregious assessment of Kikuyu women. I take it that they were not always like that. what happened?Did kikuyu men turn them into notoriety you mention?

  10. BBIbbiMar 13, 2021

    You forgot to Mention KABETE; the Capital of Money hungry Murderous "widows".

  11. Morris MenyeMar 13, 2021

    Wairimu Cohen is from Muranga

  12. mtejaMar 14, 2021

    No, Nyeri. It was in the news at that time.

  13. Serah MuhoroMar 13, 2021

    Wow, you managed to squeeze a lot of tribal hatred into one paragraph. Who hurt you? With your logic there should only be a few living Kikuyu husbands walking around. And all this from a story that had no Kikuyus in it.

  14. Morris MenyeMar 13, 2021

    Veronica is a Kamba/Kibeti

    I totally agree with you Mlacahke. When a kyuk family eyes your wealth you are as good as dead. The family will do anything within their rich to get you-witchcraft, kamuchere, hire to kill contracts, faked accidents or robbery, etc. I am talking as a victim because I lost my brother in this manner. Victims of Kyuk murders women are usually hardheaded and are the least to acknowledge a looming danger. We tried everything to save our brother but nothing we could do protected him from the murderers wife. It is as if all Kyuk women have a serial killer genie but most of those genies are dominant. It is when some of those genies becomes active that tables turn lose. My advise is that stay away from Kyuk women if you want to live a full life. Don't gamble with your life, don't marry a Kyuk woman!!!!!!!

    He shot himself what is there to investigate the next of kin takes the inheritance what is new the rest is he said she said

  17. SoldieronMar 12, 2021

    He should have gone to the DCI before shooting himself. Frustrating him is not a crime. That is not to say there won't be crimes uncovered after investigations. Mlachake, your kyuk bias is as clear as daylight.

  18. MaxileyMar 13, 2021

    @Soldieron, Yes he should have gone to the DCI before shooting himself. That's the rational thinking of a normal person.But remember at that point he was insane.Totally blinded by rage,anger,disappointment,and loss of love all rolled in one explosive strike.

    Thieving ape

  20. ShakaMar 13, 2021

    Mlachake, Mlachake ur ugly ass really wants to take that route. Listen idiot first of all its seems u made a couple trips to Koinange Street to get drained thus ur knowledge of what tribe is highly represented on that Street. If ur ass was man enough n really have 2 nutz like us real men why don't u take ur punk ass to Nyeri n scream ur bullshit to those Kikuyu women. Its idiots like u that take the nation backwards n i rather take a good smelly shit then even give a 2nd thought to the crap u wrote.

  21. SueMar 13, 2021

    I am not sure what is this specific tribe that comments here about Kikuyus. You are all insane and out of your mind. Just because there has been cases of some Kikuyus doing awful things, it doesn’t mean it’s all.

    STOP GENERALIZING!!!!

  22. VanessaMar 13, 2021

    @Mlachake,it looks like all that increases in your life is age. Sad!

  23. RAS menelikMar 14, 2021

    ukuyu do not throw stones because you live in glass houses your behaviors are well known I would warn men to stay away from ukuyu women though they pretend to be in the church just want money and wealth any way they can get it.

    Not good to spread rumours with no evidence...this is stupidity
