Two men have been charged with the murder of Loise Yatich, the wife of former District Commissioner Paul Yatich.

Laban Cheruiyot and Simon Lumile were arrested in Kabiyet, Nandi County while in possession of a vehicle belonging to the victim.

Police said the vehicle was stolen from her home after she was murdered.

The suspects did not take plea after the prosecution requested for 14 more days to complete investigations.

Eldoret Chief Magistrate Charles Obulutsa directed the suspects be detained at Eldoret West Police station until 30th October.

Ms Yatich's body was found in her house in Kiplombe near Eldoret on Tuesday.

She worked as a curriculum development officer with the Teachers Service Commission in Uasin Gishu County, her family said.
