DCI Chief Inspector Ann Wanjiru's marriage to two police officers has put her at risk of being jailed for bigamy.
The details surfaced when she filed for divorce from her union with David Murimi a police commander in Nairobi.
The Nairobian, on Friday, October 4, reported that Wanjiru was also married to David Mbitu as a senior sergeant of prisons in Nyeri.
She is the younger sister of Joshua Waiganjo who was charged for impersonating a police officer.
The detective wedded Murimi in 2012 at the attorney general's office before terminating her 2009 marriage to Mbitu.
In the divorce case against her second husband, she cited abuse, cruelty, neglect and denial of conjugal rights as well as threats to her life.
"Murimi is a police officer and I am afraid that he might make good his threat to kill me. I am seeking this honourable court's protection," she claimed.
"The marriage is entirely loveless and irretrievably broken down," the DCI chief inspector added.
She left her first marriage which bore no children in 2010 and now both men have turned against her accusing her of bigamy.
Bigamy is defined as going through a ceremony of marriage while still married a living spouse and the first marriage has not been rendered void by a court of law. The offence of Bigamy is punishable by 5 years imprisonment.
"Wanjiru had already contracted another marriage with David Mbitu Muchia on April 4, 2009 at Full Gospel Church, Njoro Town, nakuru County.
The aforesaid marriage had not been annulled or dissolved by the time Wanjiru was purportedly contracting the alleged civil marriage on September 18, 2012," Murimi protested in court documents.
He also challenged his wife to table evidence of his cruelty and questioned the paternity of one of their children.
