Police in Kakamega are investigating an incident that has left residents in shock and raised fresh concerns over rising cases of domestic violence and insecurity in the town.
In a bizarre case in Makaburini area, on the outskirts of Kakamega Town, a man is reported to have killed his wife following a domestic fight before carrying her body to the mortuary without anyone’s knowledge.

“We are surprised by news that one of us here killed his wife and took her to the mortuary by himself. The two have had unending fights all the time,” said Alfred Amambia, an area elder.
“The husband, Kassim Asman, started beating the wife at around 7 p.m. We heard her cries, and maybe she died last night. But because they fight all the time, no one bothered to go separate them this time. Now he has killed her,” A neighbour added.

The incident has shocked residents with many left discussing in groups wondering the level of courage the suspect had to carry out the mess.
