“It was reported that the body of a male adult had been spotted on a footpath within Mawua ‘B’ village, Malanga Sub Location in North Gem Location,” the statement by the police commander went on.

Upon identification, residents confirmed that the pastor was involved in a love triangle which could have led to his death.

“The murder is suspected to have been committed elsewhere before the body was ferried to the scene as it bore no signs of struggle and had minimal blood stains,” said Kimaiyo.

The police are pursuing leads on the love triangle motive.
