NAIROBI :WIFE BURNS HER TIPSY HUSBAND TO DEATH IN A CAR

According to an aye witness the car went up in flames, revealed that the tragic incident occurred at around 7 a.m., within the Mai Mahiu Court in the Nairobi estate.

"I ran outside with a blanket (to help in putting out the fire) on hearing that there was someone trapped inside a car that was on fire, sadly, the car blew up before I even made it out of my gate,"

"We still don't know the events that led up to the sad incident. The firemen who came to the scene were also puzzled," he narrated.

According to the witness, it is not yet clear whether there were incendiary devices within the car that resulted in the fire, as the entire interior of the car was burnt to a crisp.

From the photos, the passenger seat could be seen in its metallic-frame state, further fuelling speculation over the cause of the fire.

Firemen at the scene also questioned the postue in which they found the body of the victim in, as it showed no sign of a struggle to get out of the burning vehicle.

The incident rekindled memories of a fire-related tragedy that struck on April 9, in Mutitu Village, Nyandarau County where three children who were in a house burnt to death as fire consumed the home.
