Kenyan Man in the US Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Attempted Murder

Kenyan Man in the US Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Attempted Murder

A Kenyan man in Minnesota has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after he was found guilty of attempted murder.

67-year-old Joseph Ndichu Kinyanjui of Rochester, MN was accused of attacking his wife with a hammer two years ago.

In July, an Olmsted County District Court jury convicted him of first-degree premeditated attempted murder, second-degree murder, first-degree assault, and second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon.  The judges further found that the offense was committed in the presence of a child. 

On Wednesday, Judge Joseph Chase sentenced Kinyanjui to 240 months in state prison, the maximum sentence allowed for the crime. He will receive credit for 855 days he has already served at the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center.

On May 8th, 2019, officers from the Rochester police department were called to a house in the 5100 block of 54th Avenue Northwest at about 7 pm, where a 40-year-old woman and her daughter were waiting outside.

Rochester Police Capt. Casey Moilanen said the woman said her father was assaulting her 66-year-old mother. 

The woman suffered a fractured skull, two broken wrists, a liver laceration, a broken lower back, and multiple facial lacerations. A Rochester police officer found two of her teeth on the bedroom floor.

“Words are inadequate to convey the horrific facts of this attack. One need only form the mental picture, however, of a hammer being swung at a human head to comprehend the extreme violence of this crime,” judge Chase said Wednesday.

Kinyanjui told the court that he was acting in self-defense and that he fell on his wife while they were both holding the hammer.

During the sentence hearing, the woman’s daughter Pauline Ndichu read a statement her mother had written about the attack and the effects it has had on her, her children, and her grandchildren.

“I still remember that day and parts of it still haunt me. The impact of the assault has completely changed my life. I cannot begin to describe the feeling of terror I felt when I was attacked by my husband who was trying to kill me,” the statement read.

 “I am a survivor. I am still the same person that I was before this happened to me, but now I have physical and emotional scars that remind me how strong I have become. He most likely wishes I was dead, wounded, and broken. I won’t give the defendant that pleasure. I am more alive and stronger than ever. He hasn’t taken away my will to live. He hasn’t broken my spirit. These scars are a constant reminder of what happened, but don’t define my future.”

Domestic violence rears its ugly head again tsk! Justice has been served. In America, violators once caught face justice and a permanent record that follows you everywhere huku eh.. You do the crime, you do the time.

Pole mama. You are a survivor!

Bwana huyu, ana miaka sitini na saba. Katika umri huo, miaka ishirini ni sawa na kifungo cha maisha. Ninaelewa kuumia kidogo, sielewi kiwango hiki cha hasira. Ikiwa umekasirika, ondoka. Katika umri wa miaka sitini na tano, angeweza kustaafu na kurudi Kenya kuishi kwa mapato yake ya kustaafu. Sasa, kwa uwezekano wote, atafia gerezani. Dola elfu chache zinaweza kukuweka vizuri na hauitaji joto au kupoza nyumba yako. Ikiwa unaweza kupuuza ufisadi, mara kwa mara nadhani Kenya inaweza kuwa paradiso.

Wow,

This is a clear case of gender based violence. I don't think anyone would argue against that.
If you cannot handle the heat in the kitchen just leave and walk away from the relationship without giving any explanation.

When you result to violence to make your point this is called an assault and the law is very clear on such matters especially when weapons are involved.

@GG, God may bless this woman based on what? His benevolence?As a reward for her suffering.I dont understand. Who can argue that the husband despite what he has done,he could be blessed as well.Do you know conditions under which someone may be blessed?
What kind of blessing do you have in mind,that God may confer?
If the woman had achoice,she would have prefered the blessing of not being battered by her husband.What say you?

Now you can understand why you shouldnt say anything till you have a lawyer. Anything you can and will be used against you. What a terrible excuse,that the women fell on the hammer...Even if she did,how many time did she keep falling on it? Strike for of the hammer did the damage.Could have been better if he had just said he lost his mind,and does not remember all that transpired...Anyway, I think 20 years is too lenient even if its maximum Think of the pain,and trauma this thug caused.I think 40 years would be more like it.

@Mkenya halisi, as wanaume wanaendelea kukaliwa,something sinister is resulting,and that is,men are being emasculated.This manifests in many front,especially the dating front.I will not bore you with statistics,or links,but the phenomenon is wide world.This threat has lead China to ban movies,and adds on TV,and other shows that show feminine males. The Chinese go it here.Male and female are created to be masculine,and feminine for reasons,and cannot be interchanged.

I do sympathize with both the parties involved on both sides! I do not want to say much because I live in a glass house! I do not want anyone to throw heavy stones to damage my beautiful house!

But! But it takes two or a few characters to dance and tangle for a while before running around to look for a hammer, a panga, a gun, etc to do the unthinkable!

They guy looks quite stressed out! Just my opinion based on his physical appearance!

Please allow me to support both of the victims! I rest my case as I put a full stop here before the stone start coming my way!

I agree with you when you say it takes two.... and either one of them could have walked away. But, why bring a hammer to a voice fight... shows intent. I argue as much as anyone else but I either walk away or slam the door or something. So please forgive my not understanding the hammer 🔨. Very unfortunate honestly

@maxiley, why do I tend to think that you are roughly of the same age with Kinyanjui’s 40 year old daughter who stood outside the house with a baby in her hands waiting for the cops to arrive in a very cold Minnesota day?

The very deep internal scars in this man’s face speaks volumes! Surely you can’t eat your cake and have it simultaneously - simply meaning at the same time!

I don't condone violence towards women.
I believe whatever happened on the material day had been going on for a long time. I believe Ndichu had some mental issues. This couple needed counseling.
Problem is as Kenyans living in diaspora, we act like all is well and our Kenyan brothers are sisters are of no help because if you involved them, it becomes the talk of the town.
IT'S TIME TO OPEN UP MEN AND SEEK HELP WHEN NEEDED.

The ever growing shame and at some point lacking the money to seek help can lead to this deadly end!

In countries such as Norway, Netherlands, and Germany, no body is ever turned away for seeking medical assistance simply because you do not have the money to pay!

In America, you will be turned away when you have a health insurance but maybe lacking $31.00 co-pay that you must pay before you can see a doctor!

The worst thing is the gossip machine mill among Kenyans in the USA if you happen to confide to someone that rough times have visited your territory!

There is also the electronics machines (phones) issue where you find people are very busy literally talking to a machine (phone searching and texting) to avoid having a minute to even say hello to the guy seat by your side!

Here is a true story - I went to pick a college lady “friend” at the Airport not too long ago who came to visit me from out of state. I had not seen her for nearly five years, but we had regularly chatted (mainly texted) on the phone! She was on the phone from the time I picked her up and this continued for a whole one hour drive back to my crib! She stayed on the phone talking to whomever (different folks) every time I tried to engage a conversation! The only time she momentarily put the cell phone down was the time she bossed me around to make her a baloney sandwich with an egg; I obliged! On the second day, her being constantly on the phone had managed to work it’s way deep into my nerves! Needless to say, on the third day I had to cut her visit short with a silly emergency work related assignment excuse - had to travel and surely I wasn’t gonna leave her in my house! I called up Uber to drop her back to the Airport to regain my beautiful space and a very needed peace of mind!

We have become all very busy to share a warm moment with a fellow being! I truly don’t recall when I said hello to the guy next to my office. I even forgot his name and I know he forgot mine too! It is the new world technology order - stying busy talking to machines!

Anyway,you ask," what really caused this couple to get here,nearly killing each other...?"Well, since no reasons are given in the article, we can extrapolate from other similar situations and get an idea.
In most cases that involve domestic violence cause are one or acombination:

a) Money issues-One couple feeling short changed
b) Sex one not getting enough or satisfied,or disinterested
c) Divorce-one party wants out,but the other does not.
d) Affairs/infidelity-loss of affection due to loving someone.
else.
e) Grown apart. Well all the above would make couples grow apart.
f)Bad communication,or no communication at all.This includes lack of respect,lack of compromise,and confrontational all the time.
The man was driven to temporary insanity.That's all I can think of.For that,he has ruined his family,and his life.If only it were adream...

@adundo, let’s put the unfortunate incidence of the hammer aside for a minute so we can clearly reason.

This man has been subjected to a bitter life of humiliation, stress and mere anarchy for a long time. And possibly by the same close members of his family he tried to kill!

What @adundo is saying here makes some sense - one can go from being a gentle and humble giant to a killer when subjected to a severe harsh life - a rat hole!

He seems to have gotten to the point of no return! And snapped! I wish he had walked away. But being in a foreign country, walking away meant being homeless and especially at his age! He got confused which led to everything going south in a matter of seconds!

@wendy - I like your some what balance power of reasoning about what may have transpired within kinyanjui’s family circle that landed him in jail! I’m saying this taking into account that madam had two teeth knocked out her mouth with a hammer! And here stands a broken family that no one can now put it back together.

I think every body who have commented here ought to read your way of viewing this situation. Your way of painfully reasoning out!

I have also read how two other people - @adundo (former neighbor of 10 years) and @moses (former kinyanjui’s tenant) who have known Kinyanjui for some time have expressed major concerns about the gentle and kind man they knew back in the days in Kenya - they expressed utter shock as the bad news reached them, to say the least!

As both parties (kinyanjui and wife) tried to balance the American life style and the family life as Kenyan immigrant, something gave in and violence took precedence!

Please let’s not only take sides but also use this situation to understand what many have driven kinyanjui to behave irresponsibly in dealing with his wife! Something irreparably major went wrong here!

And at the end of a long windy road, the family reached at a forked road juncture where the power of reason and love were never a tenable option! Things fell apart real quickly, and now we can all see the deadly resulting end.

Think again.

He is FREEEE of whatever cost his deadly snap. And free of micro-aggressions. Most Kenyan women do not treat their elderly husbands well.

C'mon yoll with your not so pragmatic feigned compassion. His sentense is 20 years, it has happened, now moving on sunnily...and am thinking mitigating circumstances worked in his best favor.

At 67, being the gentle fela described, I doubt that anyone is giving him manual labor in jail. Since his sentense has been given, everything else becomes routine. He has a work assignment, place to study and place to sleep. What freedom does he need? To do what at 67? Jail has all he needs.

Did anyone check mental health status before violence?

He will be out in 10. And retired (deported) to Kenya. Unfortunately, the wife and daughter will have disinherited him.

The disinheriting part you have said is exactly what caused a hammer to be thrown inside her mouth to knocked out two teeth! I don’t support family members who cheat others for their money!!
