A Kenyan soldier who called his wife while he was on the frontline was killed seconds later after a sniper saw the flicker of his mobile phone.

The marksman opened fire after seeing the screen from Edward Juma Okoyo’s phone light up at night as he was talking to Doreen Magak, the woman he had married just a month earlier.

Mr Okoyo was stationed in trenches with a number of other members of the Kenyan Defence Force in neighbouring Somalia when he decided to make a night time call home.

But the platoon commander was unaware that his actions had put him squarely in the crosshairs of a sniper who then shot him dead along with other members of the unit.

Now his 29-year-old wife has relived the devastating moment the line went silent as she was talking to her loved one.
