A twenty-six year-old
woman on Monday set her house on fire killing herself and her children in
Otonglo area, Kisumu County, Kenya over husband’s plan to marry second wife
Rukia Wasuna
reportedly locked herself and her two kids, aged 6 and 3, inside the house before
setting it on fire.
Confirming
the incident, Central Kisumu location Chief Simon Osege Orwa said preliminary
investigations indicate that the woman’s action was as a result of a domestic
disagreement.
According to
the administrator, the woman’s husband was reportedly planning to marry a
second wife and – on getting wind of this information – she purchased petrol
from a nearby petrol station and committed the act.
Mr. Orwa
added that the deceased’s husband was away working in Eldoret at the time of
the incident.
