A husband, a lover, and a father is expected to be everything but what one James Kifo Muriuki, the 30-year-old who has been on the run after attacking his wife and sealing her genitals, represents.
James Kifo managed to make his way through the Nairobi barriers prohibiting movement following the COVID-19 outbreak and arrived in Meru to a happy mother and son, little did they know the pain that awaited them as darkness neared.
Deep into the night, James Kifo, awoke his wife and their 3-year-old son and asked them to accompany him to the neighboring River Kathita.
With no option, the young mother of one took her son and they headed to River Kathita in Meru accompanied by what was supposed to be the man of the house according to her.
Upon reaching River Kathita, the husband she knew and father of her son turned against her and began threatening to kill her in the presence of her son if she did not list all the men she had slept with while he was away in Nairobi.
The young mother of one did not have the information the husband was demanding and to his fury, she was ordered to undress, upon this, it is alleged that James Kifo began the most excruciating and dehumanizing act on his wife in the presence of their 3-year-old son.
James Kifo is said to have sprayed his wife’s private parts with pepper before sprinkling salt and then sealing them off with superglue, all this as their 3-year-old son watched and cried in anguish, not even that, would deter him.
James Kifo then proceeded to seal his wife’s mouth and ears with superglue before leaving her to die as the son continued to cry his heart out.
Hurt, traumatized and crying as loud as he could for a 3-year-old, it is the sound of Jame’s Kifo’s crying son that attracted neighbors to the scene and saved his mother in the long run.
Killer husband, James Kifo, disappeared as he tried to escape from the police but his ran was not eased as the story caught the media, and his dehumanizing act on his wife was aired with his name and face being plastered on all platforms.
The Director of Criminal Investigations officers has finally caught up with James Kifo who is now expected to face attempted murder charges.
James Kifo, according to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, was traced to his hideout at Kaningo in Kitui County having escaped from Meru county.
