Area chief Joseph Ndegeย said Onjonga’s first wifeย died in 2012 and that he remarried two years later.

โ€œAt his old age, he could not do some household chores so he decided to marry a younger woman who could help him,” he said.

He said the man felt lonely and may have been depressed after the second woman abandoned him.

โ€œHis health worsened after she left. His neighbours said he went to bed hungry at times.”
