"Whoever killed and raped my wife must be arrested and prosecuted," he said.

The incident has shocked the villagers with locals expressing outrage and disbelief. 

"She is the most joyous and  trusted woman in this village why have they killed her," her cousin Lewis Murage said.

The news spread quickly, disrupting church services in surrounding villages.

"I want to see Wambui we were with her in Baricho shipping centre, we are demanding for justice," the deceased friend noted.

Police from Baricho police station are investigating, having moved the body to Kibugi funeral home for postmortem.

The community is in an uproar, with many demanding answers and justice for the deceased.
