Man, woman found dead in new house

Police in Migori County are investigating the death of a man and woman after their bodies were found in a house at Arundo.

Rongo sub-County police commander Peter Okiring said the man’s body was found dangling from the roof of the house, while the woman’s lay naked on a sofa, but with no visible injuries.

Lucy Atieno, 46, and Samuel Guya, 50, had reportedly been wife and husband for over 19 years.

“The woman was first married to a resident of Arundo village in Rongo,” local Assistant Chief Joseph Nyamanga said.

Mr Okiring said the man from Kisumu followed the woman to her matrimonial home in Migori, before they were later found dead.

“The woman recently reunited with her first husband. A brother of her first husband brought her back from Kisumu and built her a house, where she was found dead with Guya,” said Okiring.

Relatives said the man followed Atieno to Rongo and was received by her relative, who directed him to the new home.

Relatives said they were shocked family members directed the man to the house.
