\n\nGot Rateng, Mbita, Kenya — Residents of Got Rateng village in Mbita, Homa Bay County were thrown into shock on Friday morning after a 48‑year‑old widow reportedly collapsed and died while with her 23‑year‑old lover.
According to police reports, the woman — identified locally as Milca — had been widowed for some years and was in a relationship with the young man for about two years. On the fateful morning, the couple was said to have gone into a nearby bush to be intimate, moments after socialising together.
A source close to the matter revealed that they were engaging in intimacy when the woman suddenly collapsed. Local police told newsmen that when officers arrived at the scene, they found her body lying there with no visible injuries.
The young man was reportedly arrested by local authorities and is assisting the police with their investigations while the woman’s body was taken to Homa Bay County Referral Hospital mortuary for further examination.
Residents of the village said they were shocked by the incident, as the woman was well‑known in the community and described as friendly and caring. The unusual age gap in the relationship also drew attention, and many are calling for answers about what exactly led to her sudden death.
Police are expected to complete a post‑mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death and decide whether any charges will be filed after the results are released.
