Police have arrested a 53-year-old for killing another man he caught pants down with his wife at Ukwala village in Keringet, Kuresoi South Sub-county.

The bizarre incident occurred on Thursday afternoon at around 2pm when the man came back home and walked in on his wife and her lover identified as Edwin Komen enjoying themselves.

The woman seized a moment during the ensuing melee and escaped the wrath of her husband into a nearby farm and was still at large.

The commotion attracted the attention of villagers who thronged the homestead to witness the ghastly sight.
