A 32-year-old man is in police custody over the killing of his wife in Sabwani Village, Kiminini Sub-County, Trans Nzoia County, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has said.

In a statement shared on its official X account, the DCI said officers from Waitaluk Police Station, working with detectives from DCI Kiminini and Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) personnel, went to the scene after a report from the area Assistant Chief.

According to the DCI, police found the body of Joan Nanjala on a bed inside the couple’s house. The body bore multiple injuries, including a dislocated right shoulder, a deep cut above the right eyebrow and injuries to the right leg.

The DCI said preliminary investigations indicate the fatal attack followed a domestic dispute between the suspect and the deceased.

CSI personnel processed the scene and documented evidence before the body was moved to Cherangany Hospital Mortuary, where it awaits a post-mortem examination, according to the statement.

The suspect, Haron Kibet, is being held at Waitaluk Police Station as detectives finalise investigations ahead of his arraignment.
