A 22 year old lady has been brutally killed by her husband through strangulation and body stabs in Shirere village in the outskirts of Kakamega town.
Lydia Khachiti was strangled and also had deep cuts on her legs believed to have been caused by her husband of four years by the name Edwin Misango alias Dudu Mbaya.
It is alleged that the two engaged in a quarrel after Dudu Mbaya arrived in his one roomed house in the company of another woman and wanted the deceased to give them space.
Dudu Mbaya, a mkokoteni operator, was attacked by rowdy members of the community after learning about the incident and is now recuperating at the Kakamega General hospital under police observation.
The incident was confirmed by the Deputy OCPD Kakamega Central Daniel Mgubu and area assistant chief Phanice Atchienza, who revealed that they had seized bhang from the suspects house.
Atchienza claims that she has never received complaint reports from the couple that she knew well given that they neighbour her office.
The two are known water vendors in Amalemba estate.
The body is lying at Kakamega County Referral hospital waiting for a postmortem.
