Eland Estate in Kericho town was plunged into mourning following a tragic domestic incident in which a 32-year-old man allegedly murdered his 30-year-old spouse.
The suspect, Cyrus Onkeo, is said to have strangled his wife, Fridah Nyaboke, after a family disagreement on Saturday night.
According to a police report, the couple had a fight that escalated when Onkeo allegedly strangled Nyaboke before pushing her onto the bed.
The next morning, Onkeo noticed his wife had not awoken, but assumed she was still upset from their fight the night before.
Onkeo realised his wife was no longer alive after several unsuccessful attempts to awaken her.
He surrendered himself at the Kericho Police Station and reported the incident.
Police officers responded quickly, finding the deceased lying on the bed with no visible injuries, though blood was oozing from her mouth.
The body was taken to the Kericho County Referral Hospital mortuary, where a postmortem examination is scheduled.
Onkeo remains in police custody and is expected to appear in court on charges related to the fatal incident.
