Snoops identified the boda boda man as Godfrey Karani. They found him on Tuesday hanging from the roof of his house. He apparently could not handle the thought of seeing his wife with someone else.
Uriri sub-county police commander Peter Njoroge said neighbours found Karani’s body noticing that he had not come out of his house since morning.
The police boss also said they had to break into the man’s house which he had locked from the inside.
“He had locked himself inside the house. We found him dangling from the roof of his house,” Njoroge said, adding that the rider used a sisal rope to end his life.
According to residents, friends informed the rider that his wife was dancing at a nearby club with another man. Feeling jilted, he rushed to the scene.
“We were shocked to find out that Karani was no more. We did not hear from him from the time he went to the club,” said neighbour Ezra Okumu.
Reports indicate that when the rider got to the club, he tried his best to get into the club but bouncers denied him access.
The man, feeling angry and disappointed then returned to their home where he took a sisal rope and killed himself.
Njoroge said although the disagreement with the wife was suspected to be the reason why Karani killed himself, there was no suicide note to explain why he chose to take his life. Investigations are ongoing.
The police took his body to Migori County Referral Hospital for a post mortem report.
