A jilted matatu driver killed his wife before committing suicide in Lake Victoria.
Thomas Omondi, 55, stabbed his 50-year-old wife Grace Atieno to death following a domestic quarrel on Sunday before disappearing into the night.
But on Tuesday, his body was found on Lake Victoria’s Kigoda beach near Rusinga Island in Mbita sub-county.
The couple reportedly quarrelled on Sunday night before Omondi stabbed Atieno to death and seriously injured his child at Bondo village, Waware Sub-location in the same sub-county.
Unsuccessful attempt
Omondi is said to have made an unsuccessful attempt to kill himself in the house.
Waware Assistant Chief Michael Owade said Omondi locked himself the house together with Atieno’s body and their young child and set it on fire.
But his neighbours rushed to salvage the house.
The neighbours were later shocked to find Atieno’s body laying in bed with multiple stab wounds.
After a day, they found Omondi’s body at the beach.
