Police in Nakuru’s Bondeni police station, are holding a man who killed his brother by stabbing him following a family dispute.

Abdul Irungu Jaffar, 28 and Rashid Kimani Karanja, 26, were engaged in a heated argument before the former reached for a knife and stabbed his younger brother on the abdomen then fled.

Their 37-year-old elder brother who had tried to separate them in vain, rushed his injured kin to hospital where he was admitted in serious condition.

When their mother learnt of what had transpired, she tried all she could to have the matter resolved by the family but unfortunately, her injured son passed on Wednesday night while undergoing treatment.

A manhunt for the suspect was launched leading to the arrest of Jaffar, much to the grief of his mother, for the double tragedy of losing two sons.

One through death and the other who is staring at a murder charge.
