A 30-year-old man in Maralal was stabbed to death by his wife for arriving home later from a drinking spree.

Confirming the Sunday dawn incident, Samburu OCPD Abagaro Guyo said the said woman was arrested and immediately detained at the Maralal police station pending interrogation.

This came after her neighbours discovered a blood-stained knife hidden under a pillow in the couple's bedroom.

Earlier, however, the wife had claimed that her husband Zachary Wambugu perished as a resulting of injuries sustained when he attempted to jump through the fence.

Wambugu sustained injuries after being stabbed in the thigh and those who attempted to rescue him claimed the wife had sought to chop off his manhood.
