A 56-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death by his three sons, who suspected him of entering into their home in Kenya to steal a smartphone they shared.
After the boys (two high school students and one elementary school kid) called their father to a funeral arranging meeting in a neighboring compound, the incident occurred in Shikangania village in Lurambi Constituency, Kakamega County.
They murdered their father and discarded his body in a neighboring bush. Two girls were walking to school when they came across the body.
Joyce Nanzekho, sister of the deceased said; “The deceased used to reside in Nairobi and had only come home for the funeral of our neighbour who died recently. He was part of the team that was digging the late neighbour’s grave when his sons called.”
The boys’ grandmother, Leonida Keya disclosed that they came to her house to eat on the day of the incident but did not inform her of what they had done to their father.
Keya said; “This incident has shocked me. I have stayed with these boys since their parents separated but I have never imagined they could kill their father.”
OCPD Kakamega The three siblings have been arrested and are being held at the Kakamega police station, according to David Kabeya, who confirmed the occurrence.
The youngsters will remain in detention, according to Kabeya, while the police investigate.
While the deceased’s body is being held in the Kakamega Referral Hospital mortuary, the family has asked the police to enable the three to take their end-of-term exams while they are in detention.
