A middle-aged man in Koru, Kisumu County on Friday, committed suicide by setting himself ablaze inside his vehicle.

Venus Amimo who has been reportedly working as a civil contractor is said to have been having issues in his marriage.

According to reports, Amimo had returned home on Thursday night but he did not find his wife. He allegedly waited till about 2:00 am when he reportedly left his house.

“His marriage has been having doldrums lately. He went home on Thursday night and found that his wife had not returned home and the children were all alone. He later left the house at 2:00 am in an apparent search for her and when he failed to get her, he returned to the house and set himself ablaze inside his green car,” police report read in part.

A neighbour reported that the wife returned home after she was informed of her husband’s death.

“His body was found outside his house by neighbours,” a neighbour said.

The deceased is reported to have sent a suicide text message to a close friend, saying his wife had caused his suffering and that he was going to leave her and the children.

The body was moved to the morgue as police officers launched investigations into the whole incident.
