A Form Four student who attacked and monstrously killed his father last night at Bungoma’s Khayinga village is in custody. The 45-yr-old dad, a local Jua Kali artisan, had gone to his son’s house to enquire on his habitual absenteeism from school, only to find him enjoying a romantic moment with a lady.

Enraged at the father’s intrusion, the 21-yr-old suspect landed on him with blows and kicks, before inflicting deep cuts on his head and arms with a machete. Members of the public who responded to the victim’s wails were too late to save him Disappearing from the infuriated mob, Brian Wekesa of Kisuluni Secondary School took to hiding at a friend’s house, but has since been arrested and is being processed for arraignment.
