In a report seen by Nairobi News, Mr Eric Mombo, had seen love text messages between the wife and the man identified as Mr Bonface Musyoka.

Then, he asked the wife, identified as Ms Monica Mumbi, to make the call and pretend that she was alone in the house and very sick.

Police say the suspect raised the alarm, saying a thief had attacked him inside his house.
