They have already lost their mother supposedly. The worst thing you can do is take them to the wife's family, leave them in an orphanage, or abandon them by the side of the road to venture into the glue & parking industry. They're innocent & they don't deserve to be punished for their mother's prostitution.
ANOTHER GREEDY MISCALCULATION!
Damaris Mueni Musau was a middle-class businesswoman and mother living in Nairobi’s Eastlands area. She was married to Raphael Matheka Nzembu, and the couple had one daughter together. Raphael Matheka Nzembu was a self-made, middle-class Kenyan entrepreneur, born in Makueni County.
He maintained deep ties with his rural home and his extended family in Makueni. His brothers and relatives frequently visited, and contacted him in Nairobi. Matheka lived a comfortable and financially secure lifestyle in Nairobi's Eastlands, driven entirely by his entrepreneurial ventures.
He was an aggressive real estate investor. Through his savings, he acquired House No. K60 in Umoja One Estate, which served as an asset generating steady rental income.
Beyond real estate, he owned and ran a commercial filling station pump business in Umoja Estate. He employed a full-time pump attendant to manage the daily cash sales.
Despite owning a rental property, together with his wife and, daughter lived in a separate, rented multi-story apartment block in Umoja One Estate owned by a local landlady. His landlady, Beatrice Waringa, noted that Matheka was a quiet, peaceful tenant who rarely caused trouble in the apartment block.
Matheka was heavily invested in the upbringing and well-being of his young daughter. On December 19, 2014, During the day, Matheka checked on his filling pump business in Umoja Estate. His pump attendant transferred money via M-Pesa to his phone and handed over the day's cash proceeds.
At around 8:00 PM, Matheka met up with friends at a local hotel in Umoja for drinks and conversation before heading back to his rented apartment completely unaware of the danger he was going into. He had walked straight into a death trap.
Together with unidentified accomplices, Damaris Mueni Musau trapped her husband inside their Umoja Estate apartment and executed a calculated hit. They quickly pinned him down, cutting off his ability to fight back and stifling his screams before neighbors could intervene.
Late that night, a neighbor living in the same apartment building heard loud, distressing screams coming from the upper-floor house where Matheka and Damaris Mueni lived.
Together with unidentified accomplices, Damaris Mueni Musau used a heavy, razor-sharp weapon like a machete to inflict deep slashes across Matheka's body. He sustained severe defensive wounds on his forearms as he desperately tried to protect his face. The final, fatal blow was a deep slash across his neck that nearly decapitated him.
Once Matheka was dead, the crew systematically butchered his body inside the house to make it easier to move. They cleanly severed his lower body at the hip joint and amputated both of his feet at the ankle joints before packing the remains into thick, black polythene garbage bags.
While Mueni worked to scrub the blood and trace evidence from the apartment, her accomplices hauled the heavy bags down the building's stairwell in the dead of night. They loaded the remains into a getaway vehicle, drove to the Kariobangi Bridge, and hurled the bags into the Nairobi River.
Early the next morning, December 20, 2014, Mueni locked up the blood-stained Umoja apartment, took her young daughter, and fled. She moved into a friend's house, lying that her landlady had locked her out over unpaid rent arrears.
While Mueni was hiding out, local garbage collectors working along the Nairobi River stumbled upon the heavy polythene bags. Horrified to find Matheka’s severed limbs and torso, they immediately called the police, who transferred the unidentified remains to the City Mortuary.
When Matheka’s phone went completely dead, his worried brothers began calling Mueni. She calmly assured them that her husband had simply left for an unexpected business trip to Mombasa, intentionally delaying any search parties.
Within 48 hours of the murder, Mueni actively sought out her husband's bank ATM cards. Relatives confronted her after noticing she was trying to access his money instead of searching for him.
Matheka's brothers traveled from Makueni to Nairobi to look for him.
Mueni repeatedly gave them conflicting stories, avoided meeting them, and refused to go to the police to file a missing person's report. Suspecting foul play due to her shifting stories, Matheka’s brothers bypassed Mueni entirely, and filed an official missing person’s report with the police.
On February 3rd 2015, desperate for a quick payout, Mueni took the title deed for their multi-million rental property, House No. K60 in Umoja One Estate, and arranged a high-stakes meeting to finalize its illegal sale of House K60 for Sh4.3 million.
She walked into a defense advocate's office in Nairobi, completely unaware that detectives had been tracking her every move.
Plainclothes police officers ambushed the law office mid-meeting, arresting Mueni on the spot with the original land ownership documents still in her possession.
Mueni was formally arraigned before the High Court of Kenya in Nairobi, where she was charged with the murder of her husband, Raphael Matheka Nzembu. In September 2017, High Court Judge Jessie Lesiit delivered the final judgment.
The court ruled that the chain of evidence, the late-night screams, her immediate flight from the apartment, the fabricated Mombasa alibi, and her arrest while selling House K60, left no doubt that she was the principal mastermind behind the killing.
At the time of her conviction in 2017, Kenyan law dictated a mandatory death penalty for murder convicts. Justice Lesiit sentenced Damaris Mueni Musau to suffer death in the manner prescribed by law.
The judge noted the absolute brutality of the crime, highlighting that the calculated dismemberment of her husband for financial greed completely overrode any case for leniency at that stage. Mueni was returned to Lang'ata Women's Prison to await execution on death row.
In December 2017, just months after Mueni was sentenced, Kenya's Supreme Court ruled in the landmark Muruatetu case that the mandatory death sentence was unconstitutional, giving death-row inmates the right to apply for case-by-case re-sentencing.
Mueni utilized this crucial legal lifeline to overturn her original death sentence, resulting in the High Court replacing it with a life sentence.
Her defense heavily emphasized her extensive rehabilitation over seven years, backed by certificates of good conduct, a religious transformation, and her active service mentoring and teaching fellow inmates.
While these efforts effectively saved her from death row, the court's decision ensures she will still spend her entire life behind bars.
The High Court permanently barred Mueni from ever owning, managing, or benefiting from the 4.3 million shillings House K60 or any other part of the estate, and other properties owned by Raphael Matheka elsewhere valued to be over Sh5 million.
Because Mueni is legally disqualified as a slayer, administration and inheritance rights of the estate transfer to Matheka’s surviving daughter and his extended family (his brothers from Makueni County), who originally raised the alarm regarding his disappearance.
The slayer law (or slayer doctrine) is a fundamental legal principle that dictates a murderer cannot financially benefit from the death of their victim. It operates on the ancient common-law maxim that "no person shall be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong."
In Kenya, this principle is strictly codified under Section 96 of the Law of Succession Act (Cap 160). The law contains two critical clauses designed to completely freeze out a killer from an estate:
Section 96(1) mandates that a person who, while sane, murders another cannot inherit directly or indirectly from the victim's estate. The law treats the perpetrator as having died before the victim, ensuring the inheritance passes to other lawful heirs.
Section 96(2) provides that a conviction for murder is conclusive evidence in probate court to trigger this forfeiture. The slayer law acts as a total bar to inheritance:
The rule overrides any provisions in a will naming the slayer as a beneficiary. Jointly held property with the victim is severed, preventing the survivor from automatic inheritance. A convicted killer is legally disqualified from acting as an executor or administrator of the deceased's estate.
Abagusii could do head surgery before modern medicine, and the chances of survival and healing were 90%+. The surgeon with his team could even take a break to take some busaa before proceeding with the procedure. Epic!
