Yesterday the body of a teacher whose wife was caught red handed having
sex with a politician from Baringo Central District was yesterday found
dangling from a tree.
The politician – Amos Kandie was later killed by an angry mob.
According to residents, the teacher was depressed and never talked to people since the incident occurred
and this may be the reason behind the suicide. He could not bear the
fact that his wife had been cheating on him with the politician.
Kandie was the only politician who ever attempted to overthrow former
President Moi at Parliamentary level in the year 1992 and 1997 general
elections; he was also going for a Senate seat in the region this coming
elections.
Baringo police boss Charles Musewe confirmed the incident and said that
the teacher’s son and three other people are stillin custody over the
killing of Kandie. A woman who was found with Kandie’s phone is also in
custody and will be arraigned in court.
Musewe further added that they are investigating the teacher’s death and
have been questioning his wife and other people. They have not yet
ruled out foul play since no one had reported him missing till his body
was found.
The teacher’s decomposing body was taken to Kabarnet District Hospital
mortuary where a post mortem is being conducted.
