British Man Arrested after Running Over his Kenyan Wife With Car
A British national in Malindi, Kilifi county has been arrested after hitting and killing his wife with a car along the Thalathameli-Kaoyeni road on Sunday.
Simon Harold, the proprietor of UK Club in Malindi, reportedly knocked down a boda boda carrying Jacinta Njoki, her wife, in what police suspect was an ill motivated act.
Speaking to the media, Malindi OCPD Matawa Muchangi said Njoki and the boda boda rider were rushed to hospital after the incident, but Njoki succumbed to injuries on arrival at Tawfiq hospital.
“It is alleged that the man driving a Mitsubishi double cabin ran over the boda boda rider and the passenger who had fallen in a ditch beside the road at Kayoeni,” he said as quoted by Nairobi News.
Harold is said to have quarreled with his wife at their residence, making her opt to use boda boda to their club in Malindi.
“They were both heading towards the same direction at UK Club along the Malindi-Kilifi highway and the husband is said to have been chasing the wife from behind when the incident occurred,” Muchangi added.
Police say the Briton will be charged with dangerous driving and causing death.
“The Briton will be taken to court and charged with offence of dangerous driving causing death.”

What about the boda boda guy? He should be charged for GBH in relation to him and murder for his wife. He should then be deported to his homeland. That's how it's done where he comes from.

Forget the euphemism"ill motivated act". The man wanted to kill his wife,and managed to do so.In any event, there is so much pertinent information left out for abetter analysis. Information such as age difference,how long they have been married.Any kids...
I am, always perplexed by people who kill those they claim that they love.Is it really love,or possessiveness.Let the law take its course.Though at times I wish some of us would resort to Jungle-law when the wheels of justice move at a tortoise pace.
