Police in Nakuru County have launched a manhunt of a man who slit the throat of his wife and gravely injured her lover after catching them engaging in sexual intercourse on his matrimonial bed.

Paul reached for a club and a panga and attacked Janet’s lover, leaving him for the dead. He, thereafter, fatally slit Janet in the throat.
The commotions caught the attention of the couple’s neighbour, who rushed to the scene. The neighbour was also badly attacked by Paul.
The injured men were rushed to a local hospital for emergency treatment, and later transferred to Tenwek Hospital for advanced medical care.
