Police are investigating a disturbing incident in Mbeere, Embu, where a mother allegedly stabbed her 19-year-old daughter during a dispute over the girl’s decision to drop out of school. The altercation, which took place over the weekend, escalated into violence when the mother picked up a knife and stabbed her daughter in the pelvic area. The injured girl was rushed to Kimbimbi Subcounty Hospital for medical treatment.

In a separate incident in Kiamaciri, Kirinyaga, a man was fatally stabbed by his brother during a quarrel. Police revealed that the disagreement between 34-year-old Simon Macharia and his brother led to the latter stabbing him in the left side of the chest with a kitchen knife.

Police have processed the scene, and the body has been taken to Kibugi Funeral Home for preservation pending an autopsy. The investigation into this case is also underway.
