A randy MP from Kakamega county was almost beaten senseless after he was found fondling the wife of a businessman at a leading county hotel.
The woman was caught red-handed with the legislator in her arms.
Sources say the MP who is a member of Tanga Tanga political grouping has been dating the trader’s wife for some time now and it was just a matter of time before they are burst.
And so as fate would decide on that fateful day, his bodyguard and friends are said to have been in another area of the hotel to give the MP privacy.
A hotel worker who witnesses it all said the attacker seemed to have been tipped by people with the MP. Luckily, hotel workers restrained the man from teaching the MP a lesson. The woman is said to have disappeared when she saw her husband.
Elsewhere a clergyman who eloped with a married woman last year has been murdered.
The body of Francis Mugweru, the bishop of Joyspring Soul Winning Worship church, was found in a thicket 300 metres from his Kiganjo home in Thika sub-county last Friday.
The Star reports that the 62-year-old Mugweru hit the headlines in August last year for snatching the wife and three children of one of his followers.
He is said to have been dragged from his home on Thursday night and clobbered to death. The body had deep cuts and the head was hit with a blunt object.
Joyspring Soul Winning Worship church is in Juja Farm.
“We want justice for our slain brother, father and spiritual leader. Police should leave no stone unturned until they apprehend the assassins,” his brother Samuel Njuguna told journalists.
“I saw the body on my to work in Thika town but I did not recognise him. An hour later, I was called by neighbours who told me that he had been murdered.”

According to Njuguna, the killing was a well-planned assassination as his killers stole nothing from the bishop.
At Joy Spring Worship Church, worshippers led by the Rev Lincoln Mwaniki, described the pioneer of evangelical churches in Juja as a calm and loving man.
“He was a kind man who related well with people. That is why he managed to establish evangelical churches in Juja and other regions,” Mwaniki said and called on the authorities to bring the killers to book.
Mugweru and his wife Agnes Wangivi separated in 2013 after 34 years of marriage. They have three children.
He rented a house in the neighbourhood for the woman he took away from the husband. She is a mother of five, but two of the children were left with the father.
