A man from Nyakoe, Kisii county is on the run after he cut the hand of his best friend on Friday, February 17, after he found him in bed with his wife.

The man identified as Richard Omoke, 40, was also left with stabs on his head by his friend Vincent Gwaro, 37, who ambushed him on the act with his wife, Daisy.
