In the serene village of Kibaita, Nandi County, a shocking tale of love turned deadly unfolded on January 15. Hanise Juma’s obsessive pursuit of his estranged wife, Winnie Akusuha, led to a tragic murder-suicide that has left the community reeling.
A Calculated Plan
Juma’s actions were meticulously premeditated. A handwritten note found in his pocket outlined his intentions, including his tools—a black hood, knife, and poison. The note detailed his journey from Nairobi, his surveillance of the house, and the exact moment he planned to attack.
The Attack
Winnie, seeking refuge from marital troubles, had returned to her parents’ home in Nandi County. While preparing dinner, she was brutally attacked by Juma, who stabbed her multiple times in the kitchen. The horrifying act was witnessed by her father, Musa Keya, who found Juma fleeing the scene.
A Grim Finale
True to his plan, Juma ended his life meters away from the crime scene. Police found his body with a slit throat and evidence of poisoning. The murder weapon and packets of poison recovered painted a grim picture of the tragic events.
The Aftermath
The couple’s three children, now orphaned, face an uncertain future. Their mother’s death and father’s actions have left emotional scars that will take a lifetime to heal. Police confirmed the crime as a “calculated and horrifying” act, with autopsies pending.
The tragedy in Kibaita is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of unchecked obsession and domestic disputes. As the family and community mourn, the children are left to grapple with an irreparable loss, underscoring the need for support and intervention in similar cases.
