Harrison Mutisya, 45, has been arrested after he killed his wife Ms Faith Mueni, 35, on the night of March 25 in Kikumbo village, Machakos county, Kenya.

The suspected husband did this despicable act because he suspected his wife was cheating on him. In other to get even, he hacked her into pieces in the dead of night not minding how their 4 year old daughter who was sleeping in an adjacent room would feel about this. After carrying out such despicable act, Harrison Mutisya fled with the Family car and lodged in an hotel where he consumed pesticide in an attempt to commit suicide.

However, the hotel attendant lodged a complaint with the police upon seeing him in the room with foam in his mouth and immediately he was rushed to a hospital close to the house he murdered his wife. He was treated and out of danger, hence has been arrested by police officers who were patiently waiting for his recovery beside his bed.

Directorate of criminal investigations, DCI, in a statement on Friday, said preliminary investigations indicate that on the fateful day, Mutisya leapt from their matrimonial bed in the dead of the night and reached for the machete, which he used to attack his wife as their 4-year-old daughter slept in an adjacent room.

"Mutisya then fled their family home in Kalama, Machakos County, using their family vehicle a black Mazda CX5," the statement read.

"We received information regarding the gruesome murder, through the DCI hotline and immediately a team of seasoned detectives drawn from the elite Crime Research & Intelligence Bureau (CRIB) joined their Machakos counterparts to hunt down the suspect.

"Mutisya later abandoned his vehicle at Emali, to shake off the detectives who were hot on his trail, prompting them to employ other tricks in the book to trace the suspect.

"Last night, the suspect booked himself at a guest house in Mlolongo but early this morning when he realized that his moment of arrest was nigh; he swallowed cockroach bait in a bid to fix his own appointment with his maker.

"But as fate would have it, the poison took long to take effect and Mutisya was found on the floor of the room gasping for breath, while foaming from the mouth and nose.

"The officers who found him rushed him to Kitengela Level IV Hospital, where he received treatment and is currently a guest of the state at Mlolongo police station.

"He will be arraigned in court on Monday, to answer to charges of Murder contrary to Section 203 as read with Section 204 of the Penal Code.
