Man brutally attacks lover in Kisii before killing himself

A man in his mid 30s committed suicide after attacking and seriously injuring his girlfriend in Ogembo town, Kisii county on Wednesday evening.

Richard Gitebe, the suspect in question, is said to have split up with his girlfriend some time ago.

Confirming the incident, Kisii county police commander, Francis Kooli, said the deceased locked his girlfriend in a rental house before attacking her using a Maasai sword.

After cutting and stabbing her several times, he thought that she had died and he then swallowed a pesticide.

The lady was however rescued by members of the public, who rushed her to Ogembo sub county hospital, where she is fighting for her life.

A blood stained sword and a pesticide bottle were recovered from the scene.
