Detectives are currently probing a tragic incident involving the discovery of the decomposed body of a female prison warden in her home, suspected to be a case of suicide.
Linda Machuma Wafula’s lifeless body was found on Sunday in Tumaini Estate, Kitale, after neighbors reported a foul odor emanating from her residence. Police responded to the reports, leading to the discovery of Wafula’s body leaning against a double-decker bed.
Wafula was last seen on February 1 at her home, and on Sunday, an electric cord was found tied around her neck. Despite an extensive examination of the scene, no suicide note was located in her residence. Crime scene investigators processed the area, and her body was subsequently transported to the Cherangany Nursing Home Mortuary.
This incident adds to the growing concern over the surge in suicide cases in recent months, highlighting the urgent need to address this pressing issue.
