“We have taken the bodies for a postmortem examination at the Rosewood Hospital mortuary to establish the cause of the deaths,” Mr. Okiring said.
The villagers report that Madam Lucy Atieno, 46, and Samuel Guya, 50, had reportedly been wife and husband for over 19 years.
“The woman was first married to a resident of Arundo village in Rongo,” The villagers said.
They further said the woman had been away for years and only came back in November last year following an intervention from her in-laws.

The police recorded statement further indicates the man, who was initially living with the alleged woman, said he had gone to his other home and was alerted of the incident on Monday morning.
‘I received the shocking news and alerted local authorities, who accompanied me to my home, where I found my wife lying on a sofa while the man was hanging from the roof,” police statements reads.
