He disappeared into the wind following nasty accusations of cold murder of ex-wife’s lover.
It has also emerged that the deceased was Gitari’s cousin.
According to Mwea-East OCPD Dorothy Gaitenga, Gitari told her he was not happy with his cousin.
Simon Gitari, 40, reportedly killed Simon Muriithi, 45, on Tuesday evening in Kamucege village at the Mwea Irrigation Scheme.
It is said that Gitari was incensed because the deceased and his ex-wife Josphine Wawira, 37, were apparently in a relationship.
According to Wawira, her ex-husband entered her rented house and demanded to know why Muriithi was visiting her.
In a fit of rage he somehow managed to find the kitchen knife and stabbed Muriithi to death
