Police probing an incident where a Migori man reportedly committed suicide after his wife refused to cook chicken.
A 45-year-old man killed himself in Migori on Tuesday after his wife allegedly refused to cook for him chicken after a domestic quarrel.
According to the police, the man from Uriri, Migori County, locked himself in their house before setting himself on fire.
“The man, identified as John Rugala locked himself inside the house before torching it. It is alleged that the wife refused to cook chicken for him,” the police said in a report.
Preliminary reports indicate that the wife was not for the idea since the flightless bird belonged to their daughter.
“He protested after the wife urged him to get the green light from his daughter who owns the chicken,” the administrator added.
