The love between Jacque Maribe and Joseph Irungu has opened a silent debate among Kenyan couples on what to do if your other half is arrested as a main suspect over murder crimes.
Below are sampled 10 lessons couples should learn from this love affair shaken by a murder case charge.
- Falling in love with your fiancée and moving into his or her house should not be a party or just a simple get together thing attended by friends and workmates, involve parents who meet to evaluate and access whether you are suited to live together. Maribe and Joseph rarely went for a ruracio, just went to a club and formalized marriage with an engagement ring before friends and workmates then they moved into her house
- If your lover is a security officer, army man or agent try and get to know about his conduct at work, his or her trails in working, establish if you lover is safe enough to live with. Maribe again even ignore an innocent fan on Instagram who tipped her that Irungu might be a murder suspect back in July just after engagement party
- Visit your partner’s home and relatives, parents and anyone close to them known as relatives, know their childhood and even youthful details such as education, work and any other relevant information, this would help to know if your partner had a criminal activity record
- If you partner also works in security sector, ensure that he or she is a licensed gun holder and his or her gun is not being used in criminal activity.
- Do not help your partner in hiring guns even when he or she is on official duties. That might be used to commit a crime and surely you will be held responsible. Maribe actually help Jowi on securing their neighbor’s gun.
- It is good to ensure and verify where your husband works, access his working documents so as to know his or her whereabouts when he or she is not with you.
- Avoid giving your partner personal documents and accessories such as your ID and phone, bank cards etc, these are the details police use when a crime is committed.
- If you are not licensed to hold a gun, never touch it and even attempt to learn how to use it. Because you are not authorized to do so. Let your licensed partner handle it
- Ensure you know where your partner is especially during odd hours, call and text friends and families incase you suspect something odd. Report to the police if matters go off the handle
- Learn to investigate on your own the kind of friends you lover hangs around with, pick out his or her best friend and learn more from them- Maribe ignored this factor on he own peril
- If you realize your partner has been cheating on you, investigate the kind of the person they have been cheating with, if that person is a wanted criminal, you are part of the syndicate, get that police phone call on your dial. This is more important than just dumping them for good.
- Above everything, audit your partner and kind of lifestyle, see if he or she lives within the salary means- do not accept to hide expensive valuables and huge sums of money that you could suspect a foul play. Always make police your friends when you sense what you married is rather a yellow dotted cat.
