A man was left homeless after his angry wife set their house on fire protesting his infidelity.
The incident happened on Friday at Ratandi village, Raganga in Mosocho, Kisii County.
Zachary Barongo, a local, said the woman identified as Stella Kerubo has been asking his husband Raphael Mong'iti to stop chasing other women for sex outside the wedlock in vain.
"Kerubo on Friday busted her husband with another woman in a maize farm. She rushed home, locked their two kids in the house and set the house on fire before she escaped to an unknown place," said Barongo.
Barongo added that efforts by villagers to put out the fire were futile.
"The fire spread too fast and razed down household items. Villagers only managed to rescue the kids who were locked inside the house," he noted.
Area administrator Simon Mbwayo said the woman is being traced and is to be arrested.
"The kids could have died were it not for the villagers. Kerubo must be arrested to face attempted murder charges," he said.
He asked Mong'iti to take full responsibility of the kids and ensure they were feeding well as well go to school.
"Men should be faithful in marriage to avoid such incidents in future," said Mr. Mbwayo.
