Sio maneno yangu, I just quoted: Wonder what element of truth could be there!!!!!

He had been sacked, so she was the sole provider. She came home late, drunk as usual. He claimed she 'smelled of sex'. They argued. He grabbed her bag and found inside a packet of condoms, two missing, one still there! She retorted; you should be grateful I used a condom! He grabbed her neck and hit her head on the wall, and realised to his horror that she was dead! He was on the run, but is now behind bars! Phew!!!

Apparently since being fired, the man literally watched as his woman changed men, got calls throughout the night, flirted...and her reply to his complaints was standard "they provide what you cant provide". The broke and bitter guy tried hi...s hand on every job but failed! Even tried joining the police, of all the jobs, if only to have an income and gain some respect! Today am only addressing the men; why is it assumed that an abusive relationship is when you are abusing the woman and not vice versa? Why cant we learn to leave? Why does the whole world treat the woman as an angel and you as the devil? Why is the boy child for example ignored as all the NGOs, even those headed by men, campaign for the girl child?See More

can i quote myself?

@Selah - You are too harsh on McReggae. First, he said those are not his words and secondly, if that is really what happened, it explains the hubby's/boyfi's actions to a great extent.

I am not advocating the taking of a human life but if you love someone and they do such a thing to you, the emotions that follow will cause you to do things you wouldn't ordinarily do! Eventually you will regret and people who don't know what you were going through will give all kinds of theoretical approaches you would have used but it will be too late.

In sheng, nimekunoki means I'm in love with you; kunoki also means going mad. Think about it, falling in love is a form of madness. Most people fall in love only once in their life time. A huge percentage die without ever falling in love! If you are in the later group, there is a lot you can't understand. The problem is that you don't know what love is till you fall in love. Most people are not even aware that they have never fallen in love. They confuse several other feelings with 'falling in love'. The day you really fall in love ndio utajua hiyo nyigine yote ilikuwa ni mchezo tu.

@mcdoba, very good observations about the boy-child.

@selah,it is precisely people that love too much that can actually kill. It is true what they say: the line between love and hate is very thin. Those who love so much will hate with the same intensity, its just the flipside of the same emotion - but the degree & intensity remains the same. For men, the stimulus needed to dramatically flip them from the extreme of love to that of hate and eventual murder is just his wife's infidelity.
Si you have heard of crimes of passion? Thats how they arise, in the West such a murder as this dude's can actually be considered a form of temporary insanity and win an acquittal because when performing it he was under such a heavy maelstrom of emotions (love, anger,jealousy, feeling of betrayal) he was NOT is possession of his sanity - his logical self had taken leave!
I dont support his actions but am very sure this dude never really set to kill the girl and was indeed shocked to discover her dead.

More potential murderers justifying the actions of a murderer. Have the murderer hired some of his colleagues to tetea him. Why post this rubbish when you have not heard from the dead. Or is it a case of one gender trying to justify the actions of their colleague or a tribes man trying to justify the actions of a fellow tribes man. Shame!!!

Oh, I had quite forgotten this important bit of background. It puts an entirely different complexion on the matter.

@tassia, you desperately need to do something bout your EQ, iko ground floor.

@Intelligentsia, you desperately need to work on your IQ, iko basement.

Ever heard of IQ, you need to reflect.

@ tassia,

ANYONE is a potential murderer. The circumstances matter alot.

@Selah

With due respect,I think you have a long way to go in life. Your reasoning here is awfully simplistic. Very unlike your normal way of thought.

I do not justify murder at any cost. I'm just cognisant that Human beings should be more afraid of their capabilities than what they cannot do. Life is interetsing with its twists and turns.

You almost dragged me to your level. But I will not engage you in a shouting match. A couple of posts later, people might not tell the difference. Lets agree to disagree and move on.
