According to Bomet County Police Commandant Edward Ibwaga, the suspect, identified as Sharon Cherotich, allegedly broke a beer bottle and used the sharp edge to stab her husband, 36, in the neck.

The victim reportedly bled heavily and died while being rushed to Tenwek Hospital.

Police say the motive behind the couple’s dispute remains unclear.
