A woman was beheaded in Nyamache District in a suspected domestic row.

Yunuke Oigo, 50, was sleeping in her house when she was hacked to death by people suspected to be close family members.

Tension remained high at Bonyankama as shocked villagers gathered at the home and threatening to lynch suspects.

Neighbours reported a commotion at the woman’s compound but on responding to her distress calls, the assailants had fled into the darkness.

Her body was found lying in a pool of blood in her bedroom.

Her husband, Oigo Oyusa, was away at the time.

Gucha DCIO, Hezron Mudho led a team of detectives to the scene. "The motive of the murder is not known but we are interrogating family members," said Mudho.

The body was moved to Kisii Level Five Hospital Mortuary.

Nyamache DC Stanley Too appealed for calm and asked villagers to allow police investigate the killing.
