Friday, April 4, 2025- Bomet Central detectives have arrested the prime suspect behind the vicious murder of 45-year-old Rachealine Rutto, whose lifeless body was discovered on March 25th, 2025.
The discovery was made by the deceased’s daughter, who had
grown increasingly anxious after repeated calls to her mother went unanswered
throughout the day.
Driven by concern, she visited her mother’s home, only to be
met with a horrifying scene. Rutto's body lay on the bed in a pool of blood,
bearing deep neck wounds and multiple stab injuries to her arm, chest, and
back.
Determined to unravel the mystery behind this cold-blooded
crime, detectives launched an intensive probe.
Through forensic trails, the suspect, 28-year-old Wesley
Cheruiyot Koech, was eventually smoked out of his hideout in Sailo village,
Kipkelion East Sub-County and arrested.
Upon interrogation, Cheruiyot led detectives to his abode,
where several incriminating items were recovered.
Among them were the suspected murder weapon, a bloodstained
knife wrapped in a cloth, as well as the deceased’s ring and a mobile phone
containing disturbing photographs of the body taken by the suspect after the
killing.
It was established that the motive behind the heinous act
stemmed from a long-standing grudge.
Cheruiyot is said to have harbored resentment after Rutto
ended their romantic relationship in 2016, choosing to move on with another
man.
Allegedly, Cheruiyot felt betrayed after spending money on
her during their time together.
The suspect is currently in custody, undergoing processing
pending his court appearance.
