Police in Uriri sub-county, in collaboration with the provincial administration, are investigating the deaths of a 45-year-old man and his 35-year-old pregnant wife in West Kanyamkago, Uriri sub-county, Migori county.
Erick Otieno was beaten to death in Dago village on Wednesday morning on allegations that he murdered his wife, who was six months pregnant.
According to Kajulu two sub-location Assistant Chief Mr.Charles Onindo, Otieno was corned at his hiding place in Dago village by the mob, who then beat him to death.
Mr.Onindo stated that they are investigating what occurred prior to the death of the murdered suspect, but that they suspect he was involved in the murder, which is why he chose to flee before members of the public apprehended him.
According to the area assistant chief, the matter is currently being investigated by police, and the truth will be revealed soon.
Meanwhile, Mr. Onindo has urged the public to use other diplomatic means to settle family conflicts rather than killing each other.
The bodies have been taken to the Migori level four hospital mortuary, where autopsies and police investigations are underway.
