MALINDI: On the morning of March 25, this year Lydia Akinyi - dressed in a red skirt and flowery blouse, was busy with her household chores at their home in Malindi when her husband Charles Odhiambo left for work with a rider: “Good day, let’s meet in the evening.”

Akinyi responded with an affirmative nod and smiled at her husband.
