Police in Eldoret are investigating a gruesome incident at MaIli Nne Estate, where a man allegedly hacked his mother to death.
The victim, a well-known Muslim businesswoman from West Indies Estate, was a respected figure in the community, operating her business for many years.
Her body has been transported to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary as detectives delve into the details surrounding the tragedy.
The accused, who reportedly attempted to end his life by ingesting poison, was found in critical condition and has been admitted to the same hospital for treatment.
Local residents were stunned by the violent act, noting that the mother and son, who lived together, were not known to have any disputes.
Uasin Gishu police boss, Benjamin Mwanthi, confirmed that authorities are actively investigating the motive behind the brutal killing.
In a separate, unsettling development in the neighboring Huruma Estate, a woman has been arrested following the fatal stabbing of her husband.
The incident occurred last night after a domestic quarrel escalated into violence. According to residents, the couple had a history of frequent arguments.
The woman reportedly grabbed a knife during the altercation and fatally stabbed her husband.
Mwanthi stated that investigations into the Huruma case are also underway.
The suspect in the stabbing incident is currently in custody at the Eldoret Central Police Station.
Both cases have left the community in shock, highlighting an alarming trend of domestic violence in the region.
Authorities are urging residents to seek help in times of conflict and to report any signs of domestic abuse to prevent such tragedies.
