An Anglican pastor was brutally murdered in Kapsabet town, Nandi, by a KDF officer who found him in bed with his wife.
Pastor James Kemei, 43, was killed by the KDF officer who had set a trap for them after realizing the man of the cloth and his wife were lovers.
The officer reportedly sneaked into his home and hid in one of the rooms before immobilizing the priest once he went to bed.
According to reports Pastor Kemei had visited the woman, a lay reader at St Barnabas church in Kapsabet, for the night unaware that the husband had set a trap for him.
The military officer arrived in his matrimonial home that night.
He sneaked into the house at Cheplengu village next to Mother Fransca hospital and hid himself in one of the rooms without the knowledge of his wife and her secret lover.
He had been alerted that the priest was spending nights at his home.
The officer waited stealthily for the two to go to bed. He then emerged from hiding and set upon them, clobbering the priest and immobilizing him.
The enraged KDF officer then turned to his wife, fracturing his hand, and then hammered nails into the spine of the clergyman.
Neighbours said that the officer placed the wife in a corner of the bedroom as he butchered her lover by cutting off his genitals as she watched.
The KDF officer then fled the scene.
Kemei was rushed to Kapsabet Level 5 Hospital before being referred to Top Hill Hospital in Eldoret, where he was confirmed dead on arrival.
Nandi Police Commander Dickens Njogu confirmed the incident.
“We have very scant details on the incident and DCI has taken over the investigation,” Njogu said.

Njogu said they have launched a manhunt for the officer to identify what happened.
The critically injured wife also disappeared and is suspected to have sought medical treatment at a private hospital and has not reported to the police.
Rev Kemei is from Simat in the Uasin Gishu area and had been moved to Sang’alo parish in Mosop East from Kapsabet.
However, he continued living in Kapsabet with the soldier’s wife as he commuted to Sang’alo, some 30km away, daily.
