Murang’a, Kenya: A village in Murang'a was left in shock after a 30-year-old man slashed his father to death.

Residents of Gatumbo village said the man reacted in rage after his father allegedly found him raping his mother.

The shocking incident was reported in Kandara district by members of the public who responded to distress calls raised by the deceased Morris Mburu, 89.

Kandara Deputy County Commissioner Kennedy Sese said Morris Mburu Ng’ang’a was slashed to death by his son shortly after he was found in bed with his mother.

Sese said the old man who looked sickly raised alarm after seeing the beastly act.

“He slashed his father on the head severally with a panga killing him on the spot before disappearing into unknown destination,” said the administrator.

Sese said the woman explained what had transpired before she was rushed to Thika Level Five District Hospital for treatment.

The residents from the village reported that after the alarm was raised, they moved to the house that was locked.

“We broke into the house only to find the body of the victim lying in a pool of blood as the woman remained in bed in pain,” said one of the neighbour.

A member of the public who declined to be named said they were woken up by alarm raised by the deceased only to find the house locked.

The badly mutilated body moved to Thika District Mortuary.
