A civilian firearm holder has been detained by the Police in Mtwapa, Kilifi County of Kenya for attempting to kill his wife’s lover after he caught him having sex with her in a car.
Local news outlets reported that the man trailed his wife from their home in Mtwapa to Tamaduni Gardens in Kilifi town on Saturday afternoon, where he caught her with the 29-year-old man having a good time in the car.

“The suspect tried to stop the fleeing man who sprinted faster than a cheetah.”
After the incident, the man surrendered to police station where he was arrested and his firearm confiscated.
The statement added:
