Her life was celebrated by family and friends in a vigil on Wednesday.

Kosgei had according to his social media posts accused Jackline of allegedly planning to dump him despite allegedly selling everything to pay her school fees at Murang'a University.

In a series of Tweets, Kosgei promised to “join” the late wife because, to him, life had lost meaning.

Kosgei used his X account, to issue menacing statements directed toward his spouse, even tagging law enforcement authorities and media outlets.

According to him, their relationship traced back to their high school days, characterised by a seemingly unbreakable bond that defied familial objections.
