Woman allegedly stabs husband to death over infidelity

A woman allegedly stabbed her 36-year-old husband to death over infidelity claims in Homa Bay County.

George Lubembe, who earned a living from repairing phones and television screens, was killed in Homa Bay town.

The 24-year-old woman reportedly went to Lubembe’s workplace near Shivling Supermarket on Friday evening and confronted him over the extra-marital affair before a fight broke out.

The woman rushed to a local food vendor and grabbed a kitchen knife, which she allegedly used to stab the husband on the neck.

Lubembe was rushed to Homa Bay St Paul’s Mission Hospital where he was treated and discharged but on Saturday morning he returned to hospital where his condition deteriorated and he died.

Homa Bay County Criminal Investigations Officer Jimmy Kisobo said the woman fled after learning of her husband’s death.

Kisobo said their preliminary investigations indicated that the couple disagreed over infidelity claims before the matter took a tragic turn.
