A middle-aged woman has been found guilty of fatally stabbing her husband three years ago at their home in Eldoret.
Eldoret High Court Judge Reuben Nyakundi stated that the prosecution had shown via circumstantial evidence that 37- 37-year-old Winnie Maina stabbed her husband to death on August 22, 2022, at their home in Elgon View estate.
Justice Nyakundi dismissed her claim that the deceased forced her into executing the crime with a kitchen knife, stating that the evidence given in court showed that she willfully ended the victim's life.
