A gold miner from Migori committed suicide after his wife left over claims he was having an affair with another woman.
James Juma, 30, reportedly hanged himself on Tuesday night after he found his wife and children had left him.
"When he realised his wife had left, he entered their rental house and used a rope to commit suicide," Suna Lower location chief Samuel Yogo said.
Neighbours said they got suspicious past 10pm when there was no sign of activity in Juma's house.
"When they checked, they found him dead in his bedroom," Yogo said.
Relatives took the body to Migori Referal Hospital mortuary as police investigate.
