Mystery as woman killed, body burnt beyond recognition in Kericho

Relatives of Jackline Mbone say the body of the mother of three was discovered burnt beyond recognition inside her rented house in Mjini Estate, Kericho on August 11th, 2025. 

They believe an estranged lover may have been behind the heinous act.

In an interview with Citizen TV, the distraught family alleged that an estranged lover trailed Jackline to her house, where he murdered her before setting the body ablaze.

Moments earlier, Jackline had closed her salon business and headed home. Her body, together with all her belongings, was reduced to ashes. 

Ironically, a motorbike parked inside the house with a full tank of petrol remained untouched.

The devastated family, now preparing for Jackline’s burial, has lamented the slow pace of investigations and is urging authorities to expedite the probe and bring the perpetrators to book. 

Police, however, maintain they are pursuing crucial leads, assuring that justice will be served.
