In a shocking turn of events, Kericho County’s Sigowet-Soin area has become the scene of a brutal domestic violence incident, prompting a manhunt by local police. Reports indicate that a man allegedly cut off his wife’s ears in a dispute over claims of disobedience and non-compliance with his instructions.

The suspect, who fled immediately after the heinous act, is now the subject of an intensive search by law enforcement officials. Police are determined to apprehend the individual and bring him to justice, with plans to arraign him in court once he is in custody.

This incident has sent shockwaves through the community, as residents express their disbelief and concern over the violence that unfolded. The victim, who was rushed to a local hospital, is currently undergoing treatment for her injuries.

In a separate but equally disturbing incident, police in Singor, Nandi District, are investigating a fatal domestic dispute that resulted in the death of a 59-year-old man, William Kimalyo Mosop. The tragic event occurred following an argument with his relative, who is now the prime suspect in the case.

The suspect allegedly used a panga to hack the deceased on the head and right hand, leading to his death due to severe bleeding. The suspect also turned on the deceased’s wife, inflicting cuts on her left hand and leg before fleeing the scene.

The injured wife was taken to Nandi Hills Sub County Hospital for treatment, while the body of the deceased was transferred to the hospital’s mortuary for an autopsy. Police are actively searching for the suspect and are working to uncover the motive behind the brutal attack.

These incidents serve as a stark reminder of the prevalence of domestic violence and the urgent need for community awareness and intervention. Local authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activities or further information on the suspects’ whereabouts.

As the investigation continues, the community is coming to terms with the violence that has struck their neighborhood, emphasizing the importance of support systems and legal measures to protect victims of domestic abuse.
