Embu wife-killer to face the hangman’s noose

EMBU: The shrieking sound of a one-year-old baby crying relentlessly, tore through the early morning that ended what had been a dark, overcast and cold night in Kirigi village, Embu County.

The child's mother, JoyAnn Wanja, lay lifeless on the bed bleeding from the nose and mouth, having been strangled using a smooth ligature with no sign of a struggle.
