His body was recovered in a coffee plantation on Tuesday Morning following a misunderstanding with his wife on Sunday after he allegedly accused her of using shs200 to buy cooking oil for home use. We recovered the body of this man who allegedly picked a small bottle of herbicide, 24D which is applied on plants and disappeared from his home on Sunday. He had reportedly earlier on battered his wife after she used shs200 to buy cooking oil. His wife allegedly threatened to report him to police and disappeared with the small bottle which he later might have used to commit suicide, Mr Gimei said.
