Kenyans have been treated to relationship drama of all kinds but the latest one has seen two co-wives take their fight for dominance to the newspapers.

The two women, Eunice Wanjiku and Hellen Wanjiru were married to retired Kenya Defences boss Lt. Col. (Rtd.) David Njoroge Mwaura died on August 19 after a short illness.

Both wives sponsored two obituary advertisements with conflicting marriage status on one of the daily newspapers.

In one notice, Eunice Wanjiku is listed as the deceased's first wife, but in the other, she is listed as an ex-wife.
