Police in Kakamega are investigating an incident where a 50-year-old man allegedly took his own life after a domestic wrangle in Ebungaya village on Monday, September 5.

The lifeless body of Ezra Skim was found hanging from a tree with a rope on his neck in the wee hours of Tuesday morning.

The deceased was reported to have disappeared on Monday night before his body was discovered by road users.

“A rope had been tied around his neck, we suspect he hanged himself,” a resident identified as Chris Namasaka said.

This incident was confirmed by Khayega OCS Elizabeth Kagehi who urged members of the public to embrace alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.

The deceased’s sister Jetina Tegeno told the media that her brother had been complaining of domestic abuse before his death.
