The woman who was recently shot dead by police at City Park in Nairobi was having a love affair with her husband’s nephew, the husband claims.
Janet Wangui Waiyaki, 41 and Benard Chege, 26, accprding to police who visited the scene on May 20, were having sex inside their car at the public park when they were ambushed and Wangui shot under what are still unclear circumstances. She later died in hospital.
Wangui’s husband, George Kirubi, 46, to The Nairobian that besides himself, concerned relatives had tried in vain to warn the two against the illicit affair.
“It’s painful news for anyone to bear, for now can’t talk much because it’s a police case. We hope they will tell us the truth,” added Kirubi.
Wangui was his second wife and they were blessed with three sons after 16 years of marriage. Kirubi, fondly known as Fay by his drinking buddies, has two children with his first wife.
The late Wangui lived in Donholm’s Harambee Estate, while the first wife resides a walking distance away at the Greenspan estate, both in Eastlands, Nairobi.
Chege, son of Kirubi’s late brother Joseph Chege, lives in Pangani. Which is close to City Park. Chege is still in hospital recuperating from gunshot wounds.
On the day of the fatal shooting when City Park has thin human traffic, the police reportedly found Wangui’s underpants on the floor of the car and recalled that “she was occupying the front passenger’s seat, which had traces of semen.”
On being ordered to lower the windows of the car by the cops, Chege is said to have stopped what they were doing and jumped to the driver’s seat and attempted to drive off. The cops opened fire after the occupants allegedly refused to cooperate.
The car, a Toyota Fielder, is registered in the name of Chege’s father, Joseph Chege.
The officers had been informed that the tinted black car had remained stationed at the same spot for a long time, drawing the attention of a security guard who alerted the police.
