A Kenyan pastor stabbed his wife during a church service and then slit his throat in a murder-suicide witnessed by the shocked congregation, local police told CNN on Monday.
On Sunday, Elijah Misiko, an assistant pastor with the Ground for God's Gospel Church in Mombasa, left his front row seat and approached his wife, senior pastor Ann Mughoi, on the pulpit and stabbed her with one of the knives he'd hidden in an envelope, police said eyewitnesses told them."He walked up to his wife while the church was praying as if he wanted to whisper something to her," Mombasa sub-county police commander Julius Kiragu said.
The couple had been engaged in a long-running feud over the ownership and leadership of the church, Kiragu told CNN.Suspect in New York Hanukkah celebration stabbings has 'long history of mental illness,' family saysRead MoreIn 2017, Misiko was detained by the police in Mombasa after his wife alleged he planned to kill her, Kiragu said.Misiko was released the following day after police said they found the accusations untrue, Kiragu said.
