Kenyan Man Kills Wife, Lover After Busting Them in Bed at 2am

A middle-aged Kenyan man has surrendered himself to police after allegedly killing his wife and her suspected lover in Namanga, Kajiado County.

Samuel Gitonga is said to have killed the two after he allegedly busted them in bed after arriving home in Maili Tisa at 2 am on Saturday.

Gitonga first stabbed the man identified only as Mutuku multiple times in the neck and chest using a kitchen knife before strangling his wife and twisting her neck.

The suspect later dragged Mutuku’s body and dumped it near the road before going into hiding.

Gitonga and his late wife have three children aged seven months, two years, and three years.

Police say they found the seven-month-old baby suckling her deceased mother at 7 am.

Gitonga turned himself in at the Namanga Police Station later in the day.

The bodies of Mutuku, who was a charcoal vendor and Gitonga’s wife, were taken to Kajiado County Referral Hospital mortuary.

Hasira hasara. The 3 kids will suffer growing up without a mother or a father. If you spouse is unfaithful just walk away from that marriage.

Like somebody said, if you had invested time as a precious commodity in it which is never repayable, I can see why its easy to flip... its Ok for women to cheat, but for men not to react?

@evsranja With all the number of cases where men have cheated with mipangos I would hate to imagine how many men would still be alive if women resulted to butchering their husbands. On a similar story just few days ago, @ Nani commented this could be the result of women insisting on raising sensitive men versus instilling in them the man-up or men don't cry kind of attitude. Maybe @Nani has a point.

Wow, these are the consenquences of possessing ahuman being like property.Yes Iam mindful that not all men will resort to this brutal act under the same circumstances.Now the question is why do some and some dont?.Is it the amount of investment emotionally,and wealth wise that detects the level or brutality? I wonder,or some people are just crazy,and dont need much to explode.Lets hear from our experts,and laymen alike...

Ain't no kitty worth losing your life or rendering your kids orphans. Innocent kids lost both parents(dad heading to the slammer), at no fault of their own, for some BS. May The Almighty lay His blessings on the kids

I can imagine Gitonga's pain. When you go back home at 2am and find your wife in your a matrimonial bed with the neighborhood charcoal vendor, believe me ...the reaction will be filled with rage. It is not that easy to JUST WALK AWAY as some readers have suggested.
I feel for the children though

These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:

Always and inevitably each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

The probability that a given person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic possessed by that person.

A person is stupid if they cause damage to another person or group of people without experiencing personal gain, or even worse causing damage to themselves in the process.

Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid people; they constantly forget that at any time anywhere, and in any circumstance, dealing with or associating themselves with stupid individuals invariably constitutes a costly error.

A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person there is.
