Kenyan Bishop Who Took Off with Congregant's Wife Found Murdered

A Kenyan preacher who is alleged to have taken off with one of his congregant’s wife in August, 2019 has been found murdered.

The lifeless body of Bishop Francis Mugweru of Joy Springs Soul-winning Worship Centre was discovered less than 500 meters from his residence in Kiganjo, Kiambu county last weekend, according to reports.

Reports further indicate that the cleric was dragged from his house by unknown people on Thursday night before he was found dead. His body had deep cuts and injuries on the head, indicating he may have been hit multiple times with a blunt object.

Mugweru's brother Samuel Njuguna while confirming his death called for speedy investigations and arrest of those behind his murder.

“We want justice for our slain brother, father and spiritual leader. Police should leave no stone unturned until they apprehend those behind his death."

“I saw the body on my way to work in Thika town but I did not recognise him. An hour later, I was called by neighbours who told me that he had been murdered,” said Njuguna.

The deceased parted ways with his wife, Agnes Wangivi in 2013 before eloping with the spouse and kids of John Kanyua, one of his church members. Mugweru had earlier revealed plans to officiate his union with his new partner, Leah Wambui,, saying “I am not ready for any reconciliation with my former wife. My decision to ditch her was final and I am forging forward with my preparations to formalise my new marriage."

Suspects of interest; who’s pained and had the intent to murder this diabolical ‘bishop’? 1. The ex-wife he dumped. 2. The ex-husband to the bishop’s, ‘ stolen fiancée’ 3. The bishops own children. 3. The ‘stolen’ wife to be’s own children.

Atī spiritual leader? Now that's comedy but then there are many gullible people out there.. Perhaps he was caught yet again with his hands in the cookie jar but this time his game proved deadly.
Rest in peace casanova.

Sad! But unfortunately he caused pain and anguish by breaking up another man’s family; and especially with children involved! While I don’t advocate killing someone, the preacher should have known much better. Why would he be running around with someone’s wife while there are so many single women in Kenya? Some things are heard to comprehend!

The main suspects here are Agnes Wangivi and John Kanyau the parties injured and embarrassed by the preacher's sinful act of leading himself under and into Leah Wambui's skirt contrary to the Good book. The wages of sin is death.

I think it's Kanyua otherwise I have to conclude Kanyau kariaga mbia, him being the rat in this case. The man abused the trust and authority of his congregation, he didn't deserve to die but if your supposition is correct, he had to be aware that jealousy can lead to murderous rage.

The name of his church tells it all..Joy Springs Soul-winning Worship Centre. He simply brought joy and won the soul of the congregant

Wages of sin is death but not murder. How can one interpret the bible in a wrong way. This cheater was murdered hence the murderers sinned. Of course the murderers deaths won't be interpreted as wages according to the responses above

@kithoi,you are a voice of reason. Apportion the "sin" between the pastor, and the woman he eloped with. Sha was an active participant in the affair.
I have never figured out why guest1 puts the blame solely on the man,in such matters.Women break homes too so to speak
And if your home is broken,blame your self for choosing such unfaithful, and untrusted partner.Choose better next time,or else suffer the same fate.
