KENYA: MAN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR KILLING DIVORCED WOMAN WHO REJECTED HIM

July 23, 2019:

A 34-year-old man has been sentenced to death for killing a woman who turned down his advances for a love relationship after separating from her husband, Nairobinews reported on 19 July 2019.
Mr Daniel Oyondi Moi hacked to death Reginah Kiinya outside Mweiga police station on 29 April 2017 in Kieni West sub-county.
He had stalked the mother of four before pulling out a machete and slashing her on the hands and head, killing her on the spot.
He later surrendered to the police to escape the wrath of an irate mob that was baying for his blood.
Justice Teresiah Matheka, in her ruling, noted that Mr Moi committed the offence following suspicion that the deceased was being promiscuous.This, the judge said, is because Mr Moi could not accept the fact that Regina was still in a relationship with the father of her children, and therefore could not accommodate him.
