Man, 29, suspected of killing girlfriend over Sh500 bill

A 29-year-old man is being held at Ugunja Police Station for allegedly killing his girlfriend at Sango Village in Rang’ala sub location, Ugunja sub County.

Boniface Odhiambo Gekonge who lives at Rang’ala Shopping Center allegedly strangled his 24-year-old girlfriend Quinter Atieno to death after she went to his house to ask for Sh500 to pay for their son’s mil bill.

The deceased’s mother, Carolyne Achieng Oduor, explained that her daughter left home Wednesday evening to shop for supper and buy a few other things at Ugunja Market but never returned.

Her body was on Thursday morning found dumped at the gate where she buys milk by a neighbour who at first thought she was just sleeping.

The deceased’s sister, Evelyn Akinyi, told Citizen Digital that she was with her sister Wednesday evening at Ugunja Trading Center where she told her she was going to her son’s father before heading home.

Ms Atieno was a businesswoman who made chapatis for sale to fend for her two children.

Area acting assistant chief Argwings Odawa called for thorough investigations into the incident and justice for the deceased.

The administrator further called for implementation of the nyumba kumi initiative to enhance security in the area.
