A jilted man in Piny Owacho village, Uriri subcounty, committed suicide in his first wife’s house after his second wife left him.

Eric Odii was pronounced dead on arrival in hospital on Friday.

His brother, Landi Oganyo, said he confessed to taking poison when they found him writhing in pain. He refused to reveal which poison he had ingested.

Area assistant chief Juliet Atieno said the first wife found the cup which her husband is suspected to have used to take the poison.
