A sacked pastor is being held for allegedly slitting his wife's throat on Thursday night. County police commander Jebel Munene said Joel Mogaka, 40, took the body of his wife Irene Nyakwara to the mortuary and said she took poison. Her husband was sacked from the Seventh-day Adventist South Kenya Conference several years ago and ventured into farming. They said on Thursday night Mogaka picked a quarrel with Nyakwara over SMSs from another man on her phone which led to a fight and the killing. Police found blood spots in the couple's maize store where they suspect the killing took place.
