A man in Baringo has committed suicide after getting reports that his wife has been engaging in an extra-marital affair.

The lifeless body of Kokwon Lochale, 43 who was working as a private security guard in a local road construction company was found hanging on a tree near Bartabwa dam on Thursday morning.

Lochale was a staff at Mattan Company currently working on the ongoing Kipsaraman-Bartabwa-Kinyach tarmac road.

He had just arrived home last week to spend the Christmas with his family.
