Police are investigating an incident in which a 50-year-old man killed his wife before taking his life by swallowing poison in Kiamumbi estate along Kamiti Road, Nairobi.
Albert Mwangi, who was believed to be in his 50s, left a suicide note before he struck his wife to death with a blunt object and later ingested a poisonous substance.
Police say the man later hanged himself at their home following an alleged prolonged domestic dispute. This was apparently meant to ensure he would die, police believe so.
In a suicide note found in the house and addressed to his four children, Albert painted an image of a sour and rocky marriage with his wife, Milcah Mwangi, a businesswoman in the area and who was in her late 40s.
