> KENYAN EXILE MURDERS WIFE IN STOCKHOLM
> 
> By Okoth Osewe in Stockholm
> 
> Mr. Duncan Wararinga Warutere, a Kenyan exiled in Sweden, has gone into 
> hiding after murdering his wife in Stockholm. The 50 year old Kenyan is 
> alleged to have killed his wife in their house at Järfälla by brutally 
> attacking her.  He then locked the house, set it ablaze and fled.
> 
> When the couple's son arrived home on Sunday afternoon, he found the door 
> locked. The boy then went round the house and found smoke bellowing through 
> his parent's bedroom window. He alerted the neighbours who called the fire 
> station department. The firemen then forced their way into the house and 
> discovered a partially burnt body of a woman lying on the bed.
> 
> According to police, they are treating the crime as murder because there was 
> blood at the scene of crime and injuries on the woman's, body suggesting 
> that the woman had been brutalised. By Monday morning, the whole house had 
> been cordoned off with police tape while police also prevented anyone from 
> entering the house. The Kenyan appear to have set the house on fire after 
> killing his wife to make it look like his wife had set the house ablaze in a 
> moment of suicide.
> 
> The couple's five children are still in deep shock and are currently being 
> taken care of by a relative in Stockholm. According to a national radio 
> broadcast on Monday morning, Mr. Warutere is still at large and a massive 
> manhunt has been launched to arrest him. A short front page report in 
> yesterdays Metro, a free daily circulated in Stockholm's underground train 
> stations, said that a crisis group has been set up by the State to help the 
> bereaved family deal with the situation. The news has also been splashed in 
> Swedish national TV 5 and other channels.
> 
> Speculation by Kenyans that Mr. Warutere may have committed suicide were 
> dispelled yesterday when he called his two children twice through their 
> mobile phones. When his son asked him where he was, he said that he was in a 
> hospital. But when the son asked him the location of the hospital, he banged 
> the phone.
> 
> The news has shocked the small Kenyan community in Stockholm which has never 
> experienced a situation where a member of their community commits an act of 
> murder. Kenyans who are familiar with Mr. Warutere's family say that the 
> couple has been having domestic problems since the 40 year old wife arrived 
> from Kenya after Mr. Warutere was granted asylum.
> 
> Close acquaintances say that the murder may be linked to an anti-Jesus 
> doomsday sect Mr. Warutere allegedly joined after abandoning St. Emanuel 
> church where he had been praying since 1997. After he teamed up with sect 
> members, he allegedly imposed disturbing restrictions on his children which 
> included a ban on TV watching while he also restricted movements of members 
> of his family. Many Kenyans suspect that Mr. Warutere has been provided with 
> a hideout by members of his doomsday sect.
> 
> A Committee headed by Mr. Karundi Mathenge, a Kenyan exile, has been set up 
> by Kenyans in Stockholm to help the bereaved family deal with the crisis and 
> to organise how the body of the late woman can be transported home for 
> burial. The Committee is meeting daily at the house of a relative to 
> co-ordinate funeral arrangements. A major meeting of Kenyans in Stockholm is 
> planned for Friday.
> 
> Mr. Warutere was granted exile status by the Swedish Aliens Board following 
> an intervention by the United Nations Torture Commission which, after 
> looking at his case, argued that the Kenyan had suffered torture at the 
> hands of the former Moi regime. The case had been taken to the UN by Kenya 
> People's Democratic Movement (KEPEDEMO - Mapunduzi) and other refugee 
> agencies.
