Man kills another after finding him with his wife in Kuresoi

A 35-year-old man lost his life on Thursday after he was caught in bed with another man’s wife in Ukwala village in Keringet, Kuresoi South Sub-county 

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Edwin Komen met his death at around 2pm.

He had earlier been ushered into the man’s house by his wife before they were busted by the woman’s husband.

” In a fit of rage, the 53-year-old man reached for a machete and descended on the besieged young man mercilessly hacking his head three times, killing him on the spot,” said the DCI.

The woman is said to have fled the scene to nearby farms and hasn’t been seen again.

” Villagers who heard the commotion thronged the homestead to have a glimpse of the scene, never witnessed in the characteristic quiet Ukwala village. Women chanted incantations while holding their heads, as curious children pushed and shoved from the periphery, to have a glimpse of what was happening,” added DCI.

The area chief Peter Langat termed the incident as unfortunate and called on the villagers to be law abiding and not take the law into their own hands in such circumstances.

Meanwhile, the suspect is currently in custody at Keringet Police station waiting to be arraigned in court.
