Siaya man commits suicide over land row

A 29-year-old man committed suicide in Bondo, Siaya County over a suspected land row.

Bernard Oluoch Okach’s body was found dangling on a tree in front of his late mother’s house in Usoka village at around 6am on Saturday.

According to the area Assistant Chief, Walter Ochieng, the deceased is said to have woken up at around 4 am and left the house without telling his wife where he was going, only for his body to be found this morning.

The administrator said Oluoch is suspected to have taken his life following a row with his uncle over the use of their family land.

According to the area residents, the deceased who is an orphan has had persistent wrangles with the uncle over the use of that piece of land.

The body of the deceased was moved to Bondo sub-county hospital mortuary as investigations begin into the matter.
