The writer should have clarified whose wife the following statement referred to-He is believed to have masterminded the killing of Iguku with the help of his wife Doris Wambui 48.
True @Morris but the english and proficiency in editing is a problem . they sometimes publish " the man told her wife' Something has to be done cause even in vernacular we are incapable of expressing ourselves
First person- Benson Musili referred to as ‘He’ in the beginning of the next sentence. Second person Iguku referred to as ‘His’ since we already know that’s a person’s name hence a noun replacing the first person if another sentence was to be introduced.
am from Nyeri and i personally know the murdered man . He would even give my electrician goods before payment. He only sold quality equipment and wiring material and his prices were not exaggerated.It is his wife and the prison warden who are suspected of murdering this man who concentrated on his business. His electrical shops names are Mukaro and Rware in Kimathi street . RIP Mr Iguku your wife murderer will never live to enjoy what you toiled for
