A man in Kisumu has been arrested for allegedly cutting off his wife's arms.The man is said to have committed the crime after accusing the wife, Maria Arioba, of delaying to arrive home from a funeral ceremony she attended in the neighbouring Migori County.Arioba, according to neighbours left her home in Maseno on Wednesday to attend a relative's funeral in Migori.It's not clear whether she had promised to return to Kisumu early, but residents said she arrived home on Sunday, three days later.The furious husband is reported to have chopped off her arms rekindling memories of the December 17, 2017, incident in Makueni where a man cut off his wife's arm before killing his three-month-old baby.Area police boss Joseph Nthenge confirmed the incident saying the man will be charged in court over the incident."He will be arraigned in court to answer to the charges. He will also be taken for a mental checkup before he goes to court,” Nthenge said.Is there a newsworthy accident, incident or event happening in Kisumu County that you want Hivisasa to cover?
