On June 28, a tragic love triangle turned deadly in Kakamega's Lugari Constituency. Edmond Inzai, a 40-year-old church leader and resident of Kona Mbaya Village, allegedly caught his 32-year-old colleague, Fred Khamasi, in the act with his 29-year-old wife, Ann Alusa.
According to Alusa, Khamasi returned home with deep panga cuts inflicted to his head, arms, and different parts of his body at around 11pm on Sunday. He died while receiving treatment at Lumakanda Sub-County Hospital.
Authorities have since established that Khamasi was attacked by Inzai, a love rival, and a hunt for the suspect has been launched by Kakamega County Police Commander, Hassan Barua.
The deceased's mother, Elemina Khakasa, has urged police to ensure her son's killer is arrested and prosecuted. Khamasi's body was moved to Kakamega County Teaching and Referral Hospital morgue.
