Detectives attached to Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have launched investigations into the mysterious death of German national in Nyeri following an argument with his wife.
The 75-year-old Weise Klaus Armin’s lifeless body was found hanging from the door frame of their master bedroom.
According to pleriminary report filed by the wife at Nyeri’s central police station on Friday, Wangui had visited her ailing mother in nearby Othaya earlier in the day but on returning home in Nyeri’s Muhasibu Estate along Gamerock area, she allegedly found her husband breathing fire, accusing her of infidelity.
“An argument then ensued forcing her to flee for dear life, after the man allegedly threatened to kill her using a knife. The deceased then locked himself in the bedroom, where his lifeless body was later found,” stated DCI.
When police officers from Nyeri arrived at the scene, they broke into the bedroom and found Armin’s lifeless body hanging from a rope.
Homicide experts from headquarters, with a backup team from Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau and Scene of crime detectives, immediately took over the matter.
“They have since analyzed the scene forensically, taken statements from various sources and are waiting for the deceased’s kin to arrive from Germany, for a postmortem on Armin’s body to be conducted in a bid to get to bottom of the matter,” DCI added.
