Man surrenders to police over murder of his wife in suspected love triangle in Bungoma

A man surrendered to police, confessing he had murdered his wife at their matrimonial home in Bungoma County, police said.

The man walked to the Busia police station, more than 100 kilometres away from the primary scene and told police he had killed his wife, Metrine Wandera, 25, over claims he found her in a love triangle incident with another man on their matrimonial bed on February 11, 2026.

The man in the saga managed to escape the scene.

The assailant told police he bludgeoned his wife before escaping in fear of being attacked by a mob.

Police in Busia detained him pending interrogation and other procedures.

He was later moved to Bungoma pending arraignment, Western regional police commander Issa Mohamud said.
