Chief Kills Himself After Catching Wife Cheating
After discovering his wife having an extramarital affair with a police officer in a hotel, the chief of Ndurio Location, Nandi County, committed suicide on Monday. The incident was verified by Douglas Chikanda, the Nandi County Criminal Investigation Officer, who also identified it as a love triangle involving one of his policemen and the chief’s wife, a mother of four children.
The police officer, who is assigned to the Kobujoi police station, spent Monday night with the chief’s wife at the Sereme Town guesthouse in Nandi County.
When the 42-year-old chief discovered that the police officer and his wife had committed the crime, he was horrified. After the shock, Kogei drank a tumbler of ‘Round Up’ insecticide, according to a family member who spoke with the authorities. While undergoing treatment, the chief was hurried to White Crescent Nursing Home.
In anticipation of a postmortem, his body was moved to the morgue at White Crescent Hospital. Nandi County detectives have started looking into the matter to find out more information. Since then, the officer has been placed on mandatory leave while the situation is investigated. The episode draws attention to the nation’s growing infidelity rate. Kenyan men typically have seven sexual partners over their lives, according to the most recent data available from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).
According to the data, 35% of men and 19% of women reported having sex with someone other than their spouse in 2022. The highest rate of women with several partners was seen in the counties of Nyeri, Kiambu, and Elgeyo Marakwet. However, Homa Bay, Narok, and Kiambu Counties were first among men.
