A 30-year-old Kenyan woman has stabbed her husband to death over the sale of a eucalyptus tree.

The suspect, Jackline Nanjala attacked Collins Alukhaba, 33, sing a kitchen knife after they differed over the proceeds from the sale of the eucalyptus tree.

The woman was reportedly saddened when her husband sold the tree without her knowledge claiming she was the one who planted the tree.

According to report, the couple engaged in a scuffle before Nanjala picked the knife and stabbed the deceased on the chest and took off to an unknown place.

A brother to the deceased John Alukhaba, said the couple engaged in a bitter exchange of words over the proceeds from the sale of the tree before the deceased attempted to beat his wife.

“My brother had differed with his wife over the money from the sale of the tree when he started beating her before the woman picked a knife and stabbed him on the chest and disappeared,” he said.

Police said neighbors who heard screams from Alukhaba rushed him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

However the tree which caused the death of the man has remained uncollected by the neighbor who had bought it.

A source said the neighbor who had bought the tree was reluctant to carry it away fearing it will trigger more trouble.
