Police in North Imenti Constituency, Meru County on Saturday morning arrested a middle-aged woman on suspicion of killing her husband.
The suspect allegedly reached for a machete and severed her spouse’s limbs from his torso following a domestic disagreement on Friday night.
The cause of the macabre attack remains unknown.
The body parts of the victim, identified only as Joel, were found stashed in a plastic bag and hidden under the sofa set in their house in Gitimbine Village.
Joel’s workmates at a nearby slaughterhouse made the shocking discovery early Saturday when they visited his home to inquire why he hadn’t reported to work on Friday.
Joel’s body was moved to Meru County Referral Hospital morgue, while his wife was arrested and is being held at Meru Police Station.
Imenti North OCPD Robinson Mboloi confirmed the incident, saying investigations into the incident have been begun.
