According to the police, Denis Musyoka, 34, and his estranged wife Elizabeth were fighting over an issue.
The deceased allegedly asked to have their daughter brought to his place so they could spend time together over the weekend.
But when Elizabeth arrived at his residence, Musyoka forced his way into her vehicle, pulled out a knife, and stabbed her four times on the left side of the neck.
Elizabeth managed to escape from the car and was taken to Mama Lucy Hospital along with her daughter, where she is in stable condition.
The child, who is reportedly in a critical condition, was later moved to the Kenyatta National Hospital for specialized care.
According to detectives from the DCI in Kayole sub-county, the two used to live together but had split up.
The police declared him dead upon arrival at the scene. They also recovered a knife and a partially burned five-liter jerry can that they believed contained gasoline from the scene of the incident.
Musyoka's body was taken to the Mama Lucy Hospital morgue as detectives begin investigations into the incident.
