Widow of Slain Kiiru Boys High School Principal Found Guilty of His Murder
Jane Muthoni, the widow of slain Kiiru Boys High School principal Solomon Mwangi has been found guilty of murdering her husband.
On Thursday, Nakuru High Court judge Joel Ngugi convicted Muthoni and her co-accused Isaac Ng'ang'a of murder charges and set May 18th as the sentencing date.
Mwangi went missing on November 6th, 2016, and his lifeless and mutilated body was found dumped at Karakuta Coffee Estate in Juja, Kiambu county on November 14th, 2016.
Muthoni, the former principal of Icaciri Secondary School in Kiambu, was accused of hiring assassins to kill her husband but she defended herself, saying that it was one of Mwangi’s associates who eliminated him following a failed school transfer deal.
She alleged that a cartel that facilitated transfers and promotions of teachers in the region was unhappy after Muthoni was promoted to the position of headteacher at Icaciri Secondary while her husband was transferred to Kiiru Boys without their “influence.”
Muthoni added that the cartel demanded Sh1 million from her husband and went ahead to kill him after he refused to comply, and framed her for the murder.
But the prosecution submitted that Muthoni hired four men to execute Mwangi on suspicion that he was having an extra-marital affair.
Key suspect Joseph Kariuki was handed a seven-year jail sentence after confessing to playing part in the murder alongside Nelson Njiru, who is still at large.

Very sad indeed! Some things should never happen but they do senselessly happen!
Justice served. Hang them.
This should be awake up call to those who may be thinking of doing away with their"errant" spouses.Think again. Is the risk really worth it.Doing it on the chance that you will get a way is just too risky for many people,and not worth it.And for those who think they can get away with it,can you really live comfortably with that ever on your conscience,that is if you have one...
Watch out @maxiley since you like looking at the pretty legs next door to you! Hope your wife is a very sane one!
@maxiley - please be careful with all your kikuyu concubines! Keep them secretly isolated if you want to live a good life.
@ Josh, thanks alot for your admonition. Someone good friend has suggested that I go for the Masai.What is your take on this.Before I shift my attention to" Ongata Rongai".
Sasa wanaume ni wakenya ni kunyongwa tu. Huyu hata hakuwa ameproove, alisuspect tu ati alikuwa na relationship nje. Wooooi. Kweli, kikulacho ki nguoni mwako. Unalala na yeye kila siku but yeye ndiye anaweza kukumaliza anytime smh
Muthoni might join kina wauaji Kabogo,Wanjiru,Obado and other useless murderers who kill for pussy or penis jealousy.She might escape justice by filling the pockets of MBETE GANG.I wish the Lang’ata Prison Afandis gave me permission NIKAMUMALIZIE MUJIKUNO.
Wow, what a crude 🥩 meathead!? Sorry you stupid fella! You make the whole world sick of your mindedlessness!
