Confirming the incident, Central Kisumulocation Chief Simon Osege Orwa said preliminary investigations indicate thatthe woman’s action was as a result of a domestic disagreement.
According to the administrator, the woman’s husband was reportedly planning to marry a second wife and – on getting wind of this information – she purchased petrol from a nearby petrol station and committed the act.
Mr. Orwa added that the deceased’s husband was away working in Eldoret at the time of the incident.
