Man hacks father to death after he rejected food demand

Police in the Nyakach sub-county are holding a man suspected to have hacked to death his father after a domestic squabble in the Nyabondo area.

The suspect is said to have returned home drunk from the Sondu market center and demanded food.

South West Nyakach Chief David Onyisi says the father objected to his request, a move that angered the middle-aged man.

He says the suspect then waylaid his father as he went to tether their animals, hitting him on the back with the weapon.

Chief Onyisi says the suspect then went ahead to hack his father on the neck thrice killing him instantly before walking away.

Police later caught up with the suspect and locked him at Maraboi police post before being transferred to Pap Onditi police station where he is locked up.
