When talking about inhumanity love is the last place you would expect to find but bitter love stories and nasty divorces have taught us better.
A man aged 25 whose cruelty can not be explained in words was arraigned for slitting his girlfriend’s throat, skinning her head and attempting to dispose of the body at a nearby goldmine pit.
Obed Ihaji is alleged to have killed Carolyne Anota Mukutu on diverse dates between March 2 and 3, 2019 at their Bukhananga Village, Kakamega South sub-county.
The body of the deceased was on March 4 recovered by locals at a gold mine pit situated in Ihaji’s family land just 20 meters from his house following a drinking spree between the two couple after which they were dropped home by a boda boda.
It is believed that by dumping the deceased in the goldmine pit, it would cause more gold deposits to be recovered.
Ihaji was arrested by irate neighbors who had seen him with Anota the previous day and handed him over to police officers.
The girls body was badly mutilated with her tongue ears and eyes all plucked out.
He did not take a plea due to the absence of High Court judges.
