No one knows how or where they met. But what is not in doubt is that Edmond Kipng’etich, the 19-year-old high school boy from Kuresoi who lived with his widowed mother, suffered life-threatening injuries at 3 am on August 30 inflicted by Jasphet Bii whose 35-year-old wife he was romping in his matrimonial bed.
Bii, it is said, was away running errands when his wife invited Kipng’etich to arrive with his young, sturdy plumbing tools. It may not have been the 40th day for the two thieves, but as elders say miti yote huteleza siku ya nyani kufa. Bii arrived home in the wee hours of the morning and there they were – playing seesaw.
