There is evidence that some Kenyan women use steel wire to kill their husbands. These women dip steel wire into water and uses the water to cook food for their husbands. The steel wire once consumed starts to affect digestive system. If the man consumes water mixed with small pieces of steel wire regularly, he starts losing weight. When he is taken to hospital, no disease is detected.

Women start using this method to kill their husbands slowly, this is especially when the husband has another woman or the wife wants to inherit everything from the man.
After losing weight, the man dies and he is buried without the community knowing that the wife is responsible for his death.
Robert Burale was told that one of his members died after consuming steel wire for long.He was shocked.
