A Kenyan woman, Ms Rose Adhiambo
and her house help, Doris Akinyi, have been arrested for allegedly hiring an
assassin to murder the woman’s husband, Mr Polycarp Okumu.
The man, a Mombasa based tycoon took the wife to court because he believes that she committed the said act so that she can inherit his wealth.
According to
Linda Ikeji, Dominic Kiptum, the Police Constable investigating the matter,
told a Mombasa court that the suspects and their accomplices conspired to carry
out their devious plan between October 20 and 26.
The man
popularly referred to as Kamili, also alleged that he caught his wife red
handed withdrawing Ksh 1.2 million at Kenyan Commercial Bank, Naivas Branch in
Nyali, with which she wanted to settle the assassins to complete the process.
Unfortunately,
luck ran out on her as she was nabbed during her conversation with the killers
to strike a deal on where and when to pick up the money.
Reports say
it was not the first time she had planned to execute her husband as he was said
to have survived food poisoning from the same woman.
Both
suspects have now been detained at the Bamburi police station, on the order of the
Resident Magistrate, Viola Yator following an application to that effect.
The case was adjourned to November 9 after the
suspects were remanded in prison custody.
