Woman on the Run After Allegedly Stabbing Estranged Husband to Death in Kisii

Detectives in Kisii are hunting for a woman who allegedly stabbed her estranged husband to death at a rental house on Monday night.

The woman, identified as Rebecca Kwamboka, 35, is suspected of storming the house where Abel Onsomu, 47, had been cohabiting with a college student, and stabbing him in the neck and left eye with a knife.

Onsomu was rushed to Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital for treatment, but he succumbed to his injuries.

According to witnesses, the couple had been having longstanding differences, which led to their separation. The woman is said to have arrived at the rental house around 8 pm on Monday and hidden at a nearby cyber cafe. She then stormed the house and attacked Onsomu while his second wife was out closing the gate.

The second wife heard Onsomu wailing from the house, and when she returned, she found Kwamboka fleeing.

Detectives are trailing Kwamboka and have asked anyone with information about her whereabouts to contact the nearest police station.

This is a tragic and senseless crime, and our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends during this difficult time.
