Police in Narok are investigating the death of a bishop’s wife who is alleged to have been raped and killed while fetching firewood.

Seyinik Leduda Koina, wife to Bishop John Koina of a Baptist church is said to have left home only for her lifeless body to be discovered in a thicket where she was collecting firewood in Inklonkos village in Suswa.

John Kaleke, a neighbour, said two “panicky” men told him a woman had fainted in the bushes. The body was moved to Kijabe Mission Hospital mortuary where it is awaiting postmortem.

Police are holding two men to help in the investigations. Narok North Deputy County Commissioner Ronal Fumba confirmed the incident.
