Police in Navakholo, Kakamega County are probing an incident where a 67-year-old man is accused of killing his 54-year-old wife.
Preliminary reports indicate that the suspect attacked his wife in what police said is a case of a suspected love triangle.
The deceased, identified as Rose Atieno had paid a visit to a cobbler, who is their neighbor, only for her husband to attack her.
"The deceased was hit by a jembe as the suspect accused her of infidelity," brother to the accused, Alfred Wafula, told Citizen Digital.
County police commander Joseph Kigen said the suspect will be arraigned once investigations are complete.
The body of the deceased has been taken to Kakamega Referral Hospital mortuary.
