In migori, police are on the hunt for a man accused of exhuming his sister-in-law's body and dumping it at his ex-wife's residence.

Three years ago, the man and his wife, Monica Adhiambo, split up due to disputes within the family.

He is then accused of exhuming his sister-in-law Joan Apondi's body, which was buried on his property and abandoned at Adhiambo's door.

Adhiambo, who rents a home at Kakaro Trading Center in Suna East Sub County, told Ramogi FM on Thursday that she was inside the house when the suspect dumped the body parts in a sack in front of her home.
