Our Society is slowly turning into the earthly version of hell. Day after day, cases of gruesome murders keep filling our airwaves with reasons associated for these murders shocking even more.
Last year alone, high profile murders made headlines across various media houses. From Monica Kimani to the Sharon Otieno Murder, our society once again was on the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
As if 2018 hadn’t had enough murders, 2019 has again started with it’s own murders with the latest one being even more shocking.
Why would a sane person collaborate with a clande to eliminate his wife? Why?
What does it even prove when the man accused of executing the murder of his wife is an active member of the church and has in fact contributed handsomely to it’s development?
Information has now emerged that a man accused of killing his wife has been actively involved in church projects and made personal donations. This is according to his childhood friends.
They cite the construction of Kamatongu AIPCA Church in Mweiga, Kieni West. Joseph Karue, 41, and his lover, Judy Mungai, are accused of murdering Mary Wambui, 39.
Wambui, a mother of two, disappeared on January 26. Her body was found a day later at Courtesy Beach situated at Mugutha area in Juja.
On Tuesday, they appeared before Kiambu senior principal magistrate Stella Atambo but did not take the plea. Detectives were allowed to hold them for 14 days to complete investigations.
Yesterday, police recovered Wambui’s missing vehicle near a dam in Juja. The Mercedes Benz is being held at Ngewa police post in Kwamaiko village, Githunguri subcounty.
Karue’s childhood friends at Kabui village in Kairuthi sublocation knew him as Mwangi Karue. They were surprised after his photo appeared in the media in relation to the murder.
“He participates in development projects and is the key person behind the construction of Kamatongu AIPCA Church. He’s attended several harambees,” a resident said.
His former schoolmates at Kairuthi Primary in Iria-ini ward, Othaya, Nyeri, say he completed his primary school education in the 1990s, was never a bright child.
They say it is a mystery how his fortunes changed and he managed to accumulate immense wealth. Though he was born in Othaya, his family later moved to Mweiga in Kieni in the 1990s, about 30 kilometres away. His father was an education officer and his mother a bank teller.
On Tuesday, the court heard that Wambui left her residence at Safari Park Gardens for Kahawa Sukari where she owned a hardware when she vanished. Her body was found a day later at courtesy beach situated at Mugutha area in Juja with visible head injuries.
