Police in Migori have arrested a 24-year-old woman after her lover, 52, died in a lodging at Nyatike on Friday morning.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the man's lifeless body was found at Lavanda lodging in West Kanyarwanda Sub-Location.

It remains unclear what caused his death.

"The man's body was found on the bed," the DCI said on Twitter on Friday, July 29.
