A 37-year-old man died on Thursday after his third wife
allegedly splashed hot water on him. The incident occurred after a domestic argument between the couples over marrying a fourth wife. According to the Star news, Levis Odwori, a
fisherman based at Mageta island, died after sustaining serious injuries during
the incident.
His grandmother Resula said Odwori called her while
undergoing emergency treatment at a hospital. She said she sent one of Odwori's
younger brothers to the hospital but by the time he got there, Odwori had
already passed on. Police have launched a manhunt for Odwori's wife who is said
to have gone into hiding. The deceased's body was taken to Bondo subcounty
hospital mortuary. The incident occurred a few weeks after a woman from the
same area killed her pastor husband on suspicion that he was planning to marry
another wife.
