Police in Migori are investigating the murder of Evelyn Musira, who is suspected to have been killed by her husband at their home at Royal Estate.
The 28-year-old woman’s body was found lying in a pool of blood inside their house on Sunday morning by neighbours who reported the matter to the area chief.
It was found with several deep panga cuts.
Police say that according to a report by the couple’s 5-year-old son, the husband, Lucas Kuria, arrived home drunk on that night and asked him out of the house.
“The report from the deceased’s son aged 5 years indicates that his father came to the house drunk on Saturday night and ordered him out of the house. The boy also says he heard the mother crying as he was leaving the house to spend the night in the neighborhood,” said area chief Charles Ouma.
Mr. Ouma added that they have established that the deceased and the husband were embroiled in domestic wrangles, with the woman recently reporting an assault case against the husband at Migori Police Station.
The body of the deceased was moved to Migori Level Four Hospital mortuary as the police pursue the murder suspect.
