In Kitengela town, Kajiado County, a woman has been apprehended by law enforcement following the discovery of her husband’s decomposing body within their residence.
As per a report from Citizen, the 58-year-old woman had been cohabitating with her deceased husband’s body for several days, under the belief that his revival would restore their marital bond.
