Property worth millions of shillings within Kericho Central Business District (CBD) went up in flames on Saturday after a jilted lover splashed a jerry-can of petrol on his lover, a mobile money transfer shop in one of the business premises set on fire.
The woman in her 20’s died on the spot as the fire from the splashed petrol quickly spread to the adjacent mobile phone sales outlet and chemist destroying a consignment of drugs and other properties estimate to be worth millions of shillings.
Six people including the suspected arsonist were rushed to Kericho district hospital for treatment while the body of the deceased was moved to the hospital’s mortuary.
Moses Okachi, a bodaboda rider said he was at the mobile shop which shares a roof with the money transfer shop bargaining for a cell phone when the suspected jilted lover walked in and demanded to speak with the deceased.
“After a brief talk, the man walked out of the shop only to return with a jerry- can of petrol and splashed it on her before striking a match,” he said.
