Police have arrested a woman who allegedly stabbed her boyfriend to death in Huruma, Nairobi, after a quarrel over which television programmes to watch.
Nairobi County Police Commander Japhet Koome said 27-year-old woman identified as Caroline stabbed her 25-year-old boyfriend on Tuesday night.
“The two were in their house when a quarrel ensued over who should take the remote control. The woman then took a kitchen knife and stabbed her boyfriend in the lower abdomen and thigh,” Mr Koome said on Wednesday.
The 10 pm attack happened when a soap was going on one channel and a football match on another.
Mr Koome said the victim was rushed to the Huruma Nursing Home where he succumbed to his injuries.
“We plan to arraign the woman as soon as we are done with the investigations,” Mr Koome said, noting cases of people killing their spouses have been an the increase in the country.
Neighbours who have recorded statements at Starehe Police Station said they heard the couple quarrel before a commotion ensued.
They said they later heard the man scream, asking the woman why she had stabbed him. This prompted them to rush into the couple’s house.
“By the time we arrived, the woman had already left and the man was bleeding profusely. We called the police before taking him to hospital,” a neighbour told the police.
