Police officers in Kakamega have arrested a 34-year-old man who reportedly went on a stabbing spree, injuring several people, including the in-charge of Nyumba Kumi in the Shikambi area of Shieywe, Kakamega.
Reuben Otiende, one of the victims of the vicious stabbings, told police that he had gone to mediate a dispute between the suspect, John Nyikuli, and his father, Pascal Lumumba, when he was stabbed in the head with a knife.
“Kijana alikuwa amezozana na baba, so anafukuza baba na kisu,” Otiende told Citizen Digital, “Nikaaambia kijana chukua kisu rudisha kwa nyumba, kama kuna shida, tutakuja na tutaita chief ndio tutatue.”
The suspect’s father, Mr Lumumba, asked the police to ensure the suspect does not return home, as he has become a threat to his family and neighbors alike.
