DCI detectives have arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with the murder of his wife in Sabwani Village, Kiminini Sub-County, Trans Nzoia County.

Police officers from Waitaluk Police Station, working jointly with detectives from DCI Kiminini and Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) personnel, responded to the scene following a report from the area Assistant Chief.

Upon arrival, the officers found the lifeless body of Joan Nanjala lying on a bed inside the couple’s house.

The deceased had sustained multiple visible injuries, including a dislocated right shoulder, a deep cut above the right eyebrow, and injuries to the right leg.

The suspect, Haron Kibet, is currently in police custody at Waitaluk Police Station as detectives finalise investigations ahead of his arraignment.
