Police officers in Eldoret town have launched a manhunt for a woman who allegedly killed her husband over a home disagreement.
It is alleged the middle-aged woman from Kamukunji estate on the outskirts of Eldoret town killed her husband on Saturday night after he questioned her on why she had arrived home late.
Eyewitnesses, who are the deceased's neighbours, said the two engaged in a war of words after the husband wanted to know why the wife had come from work late and drunk.
They tried to calm the situation down by asking the couple to solve their issues on Sunday morning but it all fell into deaf ears. They resumed the argument soon after the neighbours had left.
“We intervened when we heard them arguing and we were able to calm them down. We agreed that they should sleep and revisit the matter in the morning,” said one of the neighbour who spoke to Citizen Digital.
The body of the deceased husband was found on Sunday by the landlord who had gone to collect rent from them.
It has not yet been revealed how the woman killed the husband.
The body was taken to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary in Eldoret town.
