Mr. Kimaiyo further revealed that police are pursuing substantive leads that could result in an arrest, any time now.
“Preliminary intelligence which will be subjected to intense probe pointed at a possible love triangle involving the deceased and a married woman in the locality,” a statement released by the police stated.
The deceased aged about 60, whose body was found along a footpath on Wednesday had sustained a deep cut on the right side of the forehead.
The body was positively identified as being that of a pastor in the locality.
“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.
