A carpenter who killed his wife -a primary school teacher- by dousing her in petrol and setting her ablaze in Bomet County will be held in police custody for 10 days before being formally charged in court.

Mr Robert Kipkorir Tonui did not take plea when he was arraigned before the Sotik Principal Magistrate Evans Muleka on Wednesday, a day after his arrest. He had been on the run for a week.
