Village Ladies Man Killed After Sneaking Into Neighbour's Wife's Homestead

A village casanova was on Thursday, January 5 killed by a neighbour who caught him red-handed in an affair with his wife in Takitech village, Narok County.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the man, Julius Kipkurui, 42, lost his life after he knocked on the woman’s door and came face to face with her husband who crushed him to death.

Kipkurui had crept into the compound of one Gideon Kiptanui (not real names) minutes past 3 am and started calling out the name of the man’s wife Chero asking her to open the door.

Unbeknownst to him, Chero’s husband who was believed to be working kilometres away from home had arrived incognito, earlier in the day.

"Initially, the man of the house who was in deep slumber thought that it was a bad dream but when the husky voice coming through a space between the wooden window persisted, he woke up all ears!

"Chero, yaat kurget, ane pepis neng’ung (Chero open the door, it’s me your babe) the voice continued," narrated the DCI. 

A deafening silence followed as the man who was seated on the bed digested the words in shock, looking down beside him where his wife lay without making a move.

"But before he could confront her over who the pepis was, the Casanova who had the impatience of a stallion knocked yet again! Chero! yaani mekosei? (Aren't you opening?) 

"This prompted the man of the house to fly from the bed with furry towards the door, and immediately after opening it went for the 42-year-old with the rage of a wounded lion!" added the DCI.

The commotion shook the entire village as Chero’s husband attacked the man who dared to snatch her from the neighbour's loving arms.

It took the intervention of the village sub-chief and Nyumba Kumi elders to calm down the situation and return things to normalcy. 

Meanwhile, Chero fled the homestead to neighbouring farms through the cattle boma, further rattling the animals that were equally bewildered following the unfolding events.

The badly injured intruder was rushed to Kapkatet hospital where he, unfortunately, succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment. 

At the scene, the man of the house was arrested and was taken into custody at Abossi police station as appropriate charges are being prepared.
