A family in Manyatta estate is mourning one of their members who burnt in a blazing fire inside his house on Tuesday night.
The 35-year old man identified as Anthony Oruma is said to have committed suicide following a love feud between him and his wife.
According to his mother, Agatha Oruma, the deceased had been involved in an exchange of words with the wife claiming that she was cheating on him.
“My son left yesterday around noon after almost putting up a fight with his wife. That was the last moment I saw him while he was alive. He had taken poison a year ago but was rushed to the hospital and treated. The wife had left as well on Monday evening following the incident,” said Agatha.
The area sub-chief Nicholas Omollo told a Hivisasa writer that the neighbors tried to save the deceased but their efforts were not successful.
“We tried to save him but it was too late. He has left two sons. It's likely he was drunk," he said.
Anthony's friends who mingled with him at a local bar in Kondele on Monday said he looked stressed.
His body was taken to Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary.
