The husband, a Tanzanian, told police that Okumu attacked him and his wife, prompting them to defend themselves.
Authorities, however, noted that the extent and number of injuries suggest the stabbing was a deliberate act of rage. The man reported the incident to police, who recovered the body and took it to the mortuary for a postmortem. The couple is now in custody as investigations continue and further legal processing is carried out.
Locals said the deceased was familiar with the couple, but the reason behind the fatal dispute remains unclear.
