DCI detectives have arrested two brothers over the murder of their kin in Mochokoret village, Ainabkoi Sub-County with the fight centered around food.
“In Mochokoret village, Ainabkoi Sub-County, a family feud over food turned tragic on February 19, 2025, when two youthful brothers turned against their 40-year-old kin, killing him on the spot.
Preliminary investigations by Ainabkoi detectives who received the shocking report from the man of the house revealed that, on the fateful night, the father and his three sons were having the available meal for dinner, when a heated argument over what was on the table arose.
The squabble spiralled out of control despite the 70-year-old’s desperate efforts to calm his progenies down, melee that culminated in the deadly stabbing of Emmanuel Kiplagat Sing’oei, 40. The hope of resuscitating his son died down when a doctor at Plateau Mission Hospital confirmed Kiplagat’s death. A kitchen knife through the left side of the chest had robbed a life and a son.
Arriving at the grisly scene, investigators found the murder weapon and a blood-stained T-shirt which were preserved as exhibit. The suspects, Duncan Kiptoo Singo’ei, 27 and Kelvin Kiplimo Singo’ei, 25, were also taken into custody, and are being processed for court appearance.” said DCI
