A woman is in police custody after being found living with the decomposing deceased husband’s body.
The 58-year-old woman was taken into custody on Thursday night after police discovered the rotting body of her husband inside their house in Sifa farm, Kitengela.
According to the police, the woman had been living with her husband’s body in their house.
Police stormed the house after neighbours informed them about the strange smell coming from the woman’s compound.
The officers forced their way into the woman’s house after she had denied them entry, and found the corpse lying next to her bed in her living room.
“The police went into the compound and found the woman alone. She looked sick, tired, and emaciated. She was actually shaking a lot,” said a source.
According to the neighbours, the woman alleged that she had kept the body waiting for its resurrection.
