Jackline Jerop Kimaiyo to be laid to rest today

Jackline Jerop Kimaiyo, the woman killed in Mathira, Nyeri County by her husband over an alleged love triangle will be buried today.

She was a teacher in Mathira East where her body was found, while her husband was a night guard in Thika. He lived in Waitethie, Thika about 50 kilometres from where the wife worked.

Before and after Jackline was brutally murdered, Kosgei had taken to social media to accuse her of allegedly cheating on him.

Details of the burial have been released by family who indicated the body of the deceased will be laid to rest at Kapkatui village, Keyio North, Elgeyo Marakwet.

Her life was celebrated by family and friends in a vigil on Wednesday.

Kosgei had according to his social media posts accused Jackline of allegedly planning to dump him despite allegedly selling everything to pay her school fees at Murang’a University.

In a series of Tweets, Kosgei promised to “join” the late wife because, to him, life had lost meaning.

Kosgei used his X account, to issue menacing statements directed toward his spouse, even tagging law enforcement authorities and media outlets.

According to him, their relationship traced back to their high school days, characterised by a seemingly unbreakable bond that defied familial objections.

It was later found that Kosgei had taken his own life after the series of tweets went viral and stunned Kenyans.
