In a shocking tale of betrayal and heartbreak, a Murang’a man, Peter Murira, has opened up about discovering his wife’s affair with his close friend, an incident that has left the local community stunned.
According to Murira, the day began like any other. He left home early in the morning to attend to his job as an insurance salesman, leaving KSh 250 for his wife, Njambi, to buy supper. He mentioned that he returned home around 9 p.m., where he found his friend Muiruri visiting. Murira said he noticed the two laughing together but dismissed it, thinking nothing of it.
The next morning, Murira prepared for work as usual and even bid farewell to Muiruri, who claimed he was heading back to his place. However, later in the day, while moving around town selling insurance policies, Murira was shocked to spot his wife and Muiruri together once again. He initially thought they were heading to the stage, but moments later, he saw them entering a lodging near Club Tickers.
Curious and suspicious, he followed them and watched as they booked a room. At first, he tried to convince himself that maybe they were handling some business, but what he witnessed moments later confirmed his worst fears. Inside the room, he found his wife and his friend in a compromising situation.
Feeling betrayed, Murira said he no longer wanted anything to do with either of them, emphasizing that he and his wife did not have children together. His words reflected deep pain and disappointment over the betrayal by two people he trusted the most.
