A man, who hacked his wife to death over a land dispute, was lynched and his body set ablaze by irate villagers in Ndumbu village, Mbooni East, Makueni County.
Boniface Mutua, 74, is reported to have returned home following the outbreak of Covid-19 having fled for over 20 years after selling his family’s piece of land.
His wife, Ruth Kavisu Mutua, 71, now deceased, however, refunded the buyer and revoked the title deed. On his return, Mutua is said to have demanded the title deed, a position Kavisu and her children resisted.
