In a shocking development, Johanne Marange Sect Member killed his wife after she refused to shave her head.
35-year-old man, identified as Daniel Mufambi, is now on the run after fatally assaulting his wife, Benedict Mutero.
Man Kills Wife After She Refuses to Shave Her Head
Mufambi, a member of the Johanne Marange apostolic sect, reportedly accused his 22-year-old wife, Mutero, of failing to adhere to the church’s doctrine, which mandates that women keep their heads completely bald.
Mufambi’s frustration with Mutero’s hairstyle choice escalated into a heated argument. In a desperate attempt to assert the church’s teachings, he ordered Mutero to accompany him to a church service, but she staunchly refused.
What followed was a harrowing ordeal, as Mufambi allegedly resorted to physical violence. He began assaulting his wife, subjecting her to flogging, slapping, and punching all over her body. The brutal assault left Mutero in a critical condition as she collapsed and lost consciousness.
In a chilling turn of events, Mufambi dragged his unconscious wife into a kitchen hut. Agnes Mufambi, the suspect’s mother, who was an eyewitness to this horrifying incident from her home, located 300 meters away, immediately realized the gravity of the situation. She urgently summoned her daughter, Tabeth, to intervene.
Tabeth courageously stepped in and managed to restrain her brother from inflicting further harm on Mutero. Understanding the dire need for medical assistance, Obvious, the brother of the accused, swiftly arranged for transportation. With the help of Matthew Kagwande from Chingwaru Village, they rushed the gravely injured Mutero to the Guruve hospital.
Tragically, the hospital staff’s efforts to save Mutero’s life proved in vain, as she was pronounced dead upon arrival. The young woman had sustained severe injuries, evident by the numerous bruises covering her body and a swollen head.
Manhunt Underway: Community in Shock as Suspect Flees Justice
The police were alerted to the situation, and police officers from Guruve promptly arrived at the scene. However, by that time, Daniel Mufambi had already fled the scene, leaving the community in shock and disbelief.
The search for Daniel Mufambi is ongoing, as the police continue their efforts to bring him to justice for the alleged heinous crime.
