A man from Emusonga village in Kakamega County has surrendered to police after allegedly hacking his wife, 30-year-old Diana Ngala, to death during a domestic altercation on Christmas Day.
According to police reports, the suspect confessed that a quarrel with his wife — who is the daughter of Apostle Bishop Ngala of Destiny Reconciliation Church in Kakamega — escalated into a violent confrontation.
During the incident, he is said to have picked up a mattock and fatally struck her.
After the attack, the man reportedly walked to a nearby police station, where he surrendered and confessed to the killing.
He later led officers to the scene, where the body was found lying in a pool of blood with a deep cut to the head.
Police recovered the suspected murder weapon, which has been preserved as an exhibit.
The body was moved to the mortuary pending a post-mortem examination as investigations into the incident continue.
