Police in Nyamira are investigating a case where a man killed his wife before committing suicide over claims that he suspected her to have infected him with HIV/Aids.
George Nyauma Asiba and his wife Mary Kwamboka were found dead in their bedroom on Wednesday. The 51 year-old man’s body was found dangling in the bedroom’s roof with a mosquito net tied on his neck. The lifeless body was found on the bed with an injury probably inflicted by a blunt object.
A police report says that a suicide note allegedly written by the man indicated that he found his wife in an extra marital affair with an HIV positive man. The man henceforth believed that his wife had infected him.
The two bodies have been moved to Nyamira County Hospital mortuary.
