Authorities in Bondo, Siaya County, are conducting an inquiry into an incident where a 21-year-old woman was reportedly killed by her husband due to suspected infidelity.

Cleti Kimaiyo, the Siaya County Police Commander, revealed that the incident occurred at Uhanya beach in Bondo on Thursday night.

Stella Adongo, the identified victim, was discovered in a pool of blood inside their rented residence.

“The body was found last night. This is after she was allegedly beaten to death by her husband Ben Ogweno over suspected infidelity,” stated Kimaiyo.
