A family in Kiambu County is in shock and agony after a man killed his wife before committing suicide in Kiamumbi estate along Kamiti Road. Albert Mwangi, who was in his 50s, struck his wife to death with a blunt object before ingesting a poisonous substance and hanging himself at their home in Kiambu following an alleged prolonged domestic dispute.
