A 28-year-old man was fatally stabbed by his wife in Singorwa village, Meswo Sub-location, Kiminda Location, Emgwen, Nandi County, in what authorities suspect to be a deadly love triangle.
The incident occurred in the early hours of August 9, 2025, at around 3:00 am inside the couple’s home. Residents were shocked to learn that the young man, a bodaboda rider, was found lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds on the left side of his ribs.
According to initial police reports, the fatal altercation happened during the night, and the victim died instantly due to excessive bleeding. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the attack and remains at large. Investigators believe the motive may be linked to an extramarital relationship, although the details are still under investigation.
Witness accounts indicate that the couple had been living together for some time, but tensions had been rising in recent weeks. The violent episode culminated in what appears to have been a targeted assault, with the victim sustaining several deep stab wounds that left him with no chance of survival.
Police officers who arrived at the scene cordoned off the area and conducted preliminary investigations. Evidence collected will be used to track down the suspect, who is expected to face murder charges once apprehended. Authorities have also urged members of the public to provide any information that may lead to her arrest.
The body of the deceased has been moved to Samaritan morgue, where a post-mortem examination will be carried out to determine the exact cause of death.
This incident has sparked conversations around the growing number of domestic violence cases in the region, with community leaders calling for greater awareness and counseling programs for couples experiencing marital conflict. The tragic death has left the Singorwa community in shock, with many questioning how a domestic disagreement could escalate into such a brutal killing.
As the manhunt for the suspect continues, residents remain on edge, fearing further incidents of violence if unresolved marital disputes are left unchecked. Police have reiterated their commitment to bringing the suspect to justice and ensuring that the victim’s family gets closure.
This case serves as yet another grim reminder of the devastating consequences of domestic conflicts left to spiral out of control.
