A Kenyan woman has been arrested for allegedly stabbing her husband to death for arriving home late and drunk.
Ann Mbaithe (pictured left) was accused of stabbing her husband, Daniel
Githuka, 30, in the chest and killing him, after he returned home in the
early hours of Saturday, July 30 in Tinganga village, Kiambu town.

The deceased’s mother Elizabeth Wanjiku said he
worked at a neighbouring school and usually returned at about 10pm. She
said the couple had been married for five years and had no problems. The
had one child aged four and a half.

“My son and I live in the same compound. I heard confrontation from my house past midnight,” Wanjiku recounted.

The mother said she got out of bed and went to Githuka’s house where she
found him arguing with his wife. Her son stood his ground saying he was
the head of the house who should not have been confronted over the
matter. She had not noticed the knife Mbaithe had been holding since she
folded her arms.

“It was not a physical confrontation but my son’s wife suddenly attacked
and stabbed him in the chest with a knife. After my son was stabbed I
called for help from neighbours but upon reaching hospital he was
pronounced dead due to loss of blood.”

Wanjiku said she reported the matter at Kiambu police station. Officers
arrived  later and arrested Mbaithe at the home. County DCI boss Amos
Tebeny said Mbaithe will be charged with murder once investigations are
completed.

Islamic State (IS) jihadist group, ISIS, has announced a new leader for
its West African branch which is Boko Haram. According to BBC, the
terrorist group announced this in the latest issue of their magazine.
The magazine featured its first interview with Abu Musab al-Barnawi who
replaces Abubakar Shekau.

Recall that in January 2015, al-Barnawi appeared in a
video clip where he described himself as the spokesman for Boko Haram.
This was before the Nigeria-based jihadist group pledged allegiance to
IS.

Shekau has not made a verified appearance in any of the sects propaganda videos since August 2015.

Terrorist Organization ISIS has for the first time publicly threatened
the City of Marseilles in France promising a repeat of the Bastille day
attacks as they butchered two alleged ‘spies’ in broad daylight at a
busy park in front of little children.

In the video, ISIS members wearing full commando gear
threaten more attacks on the streets of Paris, Marseilles and Nice.
They also called out President Francois Hollande before taking the small
knives to decapitate the two victims.

The video was released on ISIS terrorist channels and is labelled as
coming from Wilayat Ninawa- one of ISIS’ most important occupied
territories in Iraq.

In the seven-minute clip, one of the ISIS executioners says: ‘President
Hollande – it will be repeated on your citizens in the streets of Paris,
Marseilles, and Nice.’

After the two men are decapitated using small, serrated blades, children
are interviewed about the beheadings. Then one of the terrorists holds
one of the decapitated head and continues his rant.

College students in Texas are now permitted to carry handguns in
school. A new state law that went into effect on Monday August 1st,
permits students who are at least 21 years old and have a concealed
handgun license, to bring guns onto most college campuses. The
controversial campus law permits the students to do so at all
public colleges and universities.

While some college facilities,
including sports arenas and chemical labs, are off-limits for concealed
gun holders, private schools and two-year community colleges are
excluded until next year.

According to proponents of the law, an
armed student body might be able to prevent incidents of mass shootings
before the police might arrive. Critics however fear that new measures
might encourage more violence, especially in a school environment filled
with depression and alcohol.

The Texas law took effect on the
50th anniversary of the clock tower massacre – one of the deadliest mass
shootings in American history – in which a student gunman shot 49
people, killing 16, at the University of Texas at Austin. The shooter,
Charles Whitman, a Marine-trained 25-yr-old engineering student, climbed
to the 28th-floor observation deck of a campus clock tower and began
firing on students and staff.

The University of Texas
unsuccessfully lobbied against the law which was pushed through by
Republican Gov. Gregg Abbott and a majority in the Republican-led state
Legislature.
