We all remember the murder of the Nakuru lady, Mary Wambui Kamangara who was murdered by her husband’s mistress, Judy Wangui. Judy may have targeted Wambui’s husband, Joseph Kori and their children too.
The revelation was made by an investigator, who testified at the Kiambu High Court yesterday during bail application hearing for Wangui and James Mathenge. Wangui and Mathenge are charged with killing Wambui on January 27. They have denied the charge.
Wambui’s body was dumped in a dam in Juja. Oliver Nabonwe, the investigator, in a sworn affidavit, told Judge Christine Meoli that Wangui and Mr Kori had an affair.
He, however, added that by the time of the murder, Kori had parted ways with Wangui, which had made her target him and his family for revenge; “We have established that on January 25, Wangui was stalking the deceased’s family and had spent time trailing them at their residential house at Safari Park estate.
We are not certain that the deceased was her main and only target, and if the accused is released on bond, the safety of the bereaved family, who are key witnesses in this matter, cannot be assured.”
The detective noted that some of the witnesses in the case were Wangui’s relatives, who could easily be induced not to testify. Police have opposed bail applications for both suspects. Nabonwe told the court that his assertions were supported by Wangui’s mobile subscriber data and statements from security guards at Safari Park estate.
