Police have launched investigations after a man allegedly killed his wife following a domestic dispute in Lukume area of Malava constituency.
Citizen Digital reported that the man, identified as Isaiah, allegedly killed his wife and hid her body on the roof of the house before taking his own life following a confirmation over infidelity.
Kakamega County Police Commander Joseph Kigen said the investigation is underway and that they are awaiting the results of an autopsy on the bodies.
The deceased (man) claimed that his wife was having extramarital affairs after returning home from Nanyuki, where he works. According to neighbors, Isaiah confronted his wife, and she admitted that she had been bringing another man into their matrimonial bed in the husband’s absence.
“They started arguing in the house, and after some time, the woman admitted that in the husband’s absence, there’s a man that sleeps in their matrimonial bed and that she has also paid him several visits,” a resident said.
Isaiah alleged that he discovered communication between his wife and her extramarital partner through her mobile phone, which annoyed him.
Despite the efforts by the family and neighbors to counsel him over the last two days bore no fruit, as he killed his wife to the shock of the family.
