A witness in a murder case stunned an Eldoret court after recounting how a family trip from work to home turned tragic when a man allegedly lured his wife to her death on suspicion of infidelity.

The witness, who is under protection, told Justice Emily Ominde at the High Court how Francis Ndirangu Mwangi, a businessman in Eldoret town, offered to pick up his wife, Rachael Cherop Biwott - a senior assistant accountant at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) - only for the mission to end in a gruesome murder.
