Homa Bay man stabbed to death in love triangle

A man has been killed in Ndhiwa sub-county because of a woman.

Edward Wabwire, 37, was stabbed with a knife at a home in Sango village, Kabouch location, yesterday.

Homa Bay County Police Commander John Omusanga said Mr Wabwire was trailed by two men who thought he had disappeared with their girlfriend.

Wabwire's mission in the village was unclear since he lives in Western region.

He said they had obtained crucial leads which would enable police arrest the suspects.

"Investigations are underway and the suspects have been identified," he added.
