Evans Karani, 38, a businessman based in Juja, Kiambu County narrated what led him to commit the act and how he did it.
Karani got stuck in the mud while taking the body to a forest, hoping that the corpse would be devoured by wild animals.
Before the murder happened, he had unsuccessfully tried to convince Ms. Nyokabi to delete a photo of the alleged new lover from her phone because it was hurting him.
When Nyokabi refused to delete the photo, his first intention was to kill the alleged lover but he later changed his mind.
On Wednesday evening, he executed the murder plot, he called Nyokabi and told her that he wanted to meet her so that they could iron their differences.
Nyokabi obliged and asked for money for the hairdresser not knowing that she had gotten herself into a death trap.
Inside his Nissan Wingroad, registration number KCE 920V, Karani had a bottle of wine, her favorite, and after exchanging pleasantries, he told her that he had bought the drinks to enable them to relax and talk.
He made sure that Nyokabi was completely intoxicated, when she could hardly talk, he strangled her with his belt. To ensure she was really dead, he reclined her seat and used a rope to finish the job.
After completing the mission, Karani drove to Tola Estate in Witeithie, Juja, with intentions of dumping the body, but, near Bob Harris area, his car got stuck in the mud, he then used a knife to mutilate her body.
Confused and determined to cover up his crimes, Karani stepped out of his vehicle and removed the body. He tried to cover it with mud but would later be found by locals who noticed it called the police.
When he noticed that the body has been found, he tried to commit suicide by taking poison but the pain became unbearable, he then rushed to buy a packet of milk, inducing vomiting.
He later told a close friend that he had killed Nyokabi and that the act was haunting him. The friend called the police who traced the suspect to his hideout in Githurai Kimbo.
