Two brothers committed suicide by hanging after their father reunited with his divorced wife in Kapsilibwa village in Sagamian, Narok County on Friday.

According to police, Vincent Kipkorir Koech, 19, and Gilbert Kibet Koech, 17, entered into the pact after their father, David Towett, allocated a parcel of land to his first wife whom he had divorced years back upon her return.

"This intended action was disputed by the two deceased brothers who even threatened to kill the whole step family and their father.”

"The two had previous criminal records where they even stole in two churches in the area among other things,” read part of the police report.

Police have since processed the crime scene along the Amalo River, while the bodies of the two brothers have been moved to Longisa County Referral Hospital Mortuary pending postmortem.
