A drunk middle aged man yesterday stabbed his wife to death with a poisoned arrow at their home in Kibonjos location, Kiptagich, Baringo Central Sub-County.

Confirming the incident Baringo Central DCC Rueben Ratemo said: “We have received a report about a man who has stabbed his wife after a drinking spree at a local joint and police have arrested him."

According to a neighbor Roda Chepchieng, the couple have had numerous fights since 2019 and residents were used to the screaming and on the fateful day they didn't know it would end up in the death of the young woman.

Commenting on the sad incident, a neighbour Ben Cherutich said this was the fifth death to have been reported in the area and advised couples to sort out their issues amicably.

The culprit is being held at Kabarnet police station, while his wife’s body was moved to Baringo County Referral hospital (BCRH) mortuary.
