The incident happened in Nyamarambe, South Mugirango in Kisii County. 

Villagers said the deceased, Agnes Kwamboka had a quarrel with her daughter-in-law identified as Rose before she took her own life. 

"I heard Kwamboka quarrelling loudly with Rose over Sukuma wiki and could not believe when I went to check on the deceased in her house 2 hours later only to find her body hanging from the roof of her house in the bedroom," said Catherine Kerubo.

Mrs. Kerubo said she raised alarm to attract other neighbours who arrived to witness the incident. 

Area assistant chief, Daniel said it is unfortunate Kwamboka hanged herself instead of involving Nyumba Kumi officials to solve the differences she had with her daughter-in-law.

"Cases of suicide are at the peak and I am urging members of the public not to take suicide as the last option. Let Kwamboka's case be the last one," said the chief. 

He said he alerted police officers who arrived and picked the body. 

"Her body was taken to Kisii Teaching and referral hospital mortuary," he said.  

The administrator noted that the deceased daughter-in-law went into hiding after they quarrelled.
