Relatives and close friends of John Kiama Wambua explained that they do not understand how the young man was involved in the death of his beloved wife.
“He is not a man of anger; he is a very quiet person who hardly speaks or causes trouble,” David Ngugi, one of the relatives said.
His close friend Stephen Kisanga also revealed that he had never seen him harm anyone and was confused as to how he got to his current state.
According to Kisanga, the defendant is a very good person.
“He has always been a good man; We do not understand what could have happened to him or he entered one of these cults. I cannot say because for days and years I have interacted with him, I have never seen or heard that he fought or hit someone,” he said in a Citizen TV report.
Kiama was arrested on January 20 after police officers patrolling Huruma Street in Nairobi found him carrying the dismembered body of his wife in a bag.
According to the police, Kiama admitted that the remains belonged to his 19-year-old wife, Joy Fridah Munani.
