Police said the deceased was fond of threatening to kill his wife, which led to his arrest.
Mr Kathukia had earlier informed his fellow inmates that he would do all it took to ensure that he did not appear in court.
Little did they know that he would wait for them to sleep before he took his own life.
“The scene was photographed and the body was taken to the city mortuary,” the report read in part.

The five had excused themselves and headed to the bathroom, and the officers believed they were taking a shower only for them to take too long.
It is then that Mr Kilipo, who was on duty, decided to go and find out their whereabouts, and when he did not get them both at the sun-basking area, he raised the alarm.
