Police in Kakamega are holding a man that beat his brother to death over fingerlings also known as Omena. According to Citizen Digital on Tuesday, July 26, the man killed his brother in Kakamega County after they had a fight over the meal.

The 56-year-old brother was killed in a village called Kambi Elijah in Likuyani Constituency. Albert Adamba and John Kilibwa were sharing a meal at their mother’s house when they disagreed over portions of the sweet meal.

The elder brother Vincent Misango noted that a war of words ensued pitting the two against each other. Adamba overpowered Kilibwa, flooring him in the battle to satisfy his insatiable hunger.

“It is a sad state of affairs, given that they fought at their mother’s house at their age. We now have a mountain out of a small matter,” Jimmy Ngwayumba, a village elder, said.

Kilibwa sustained injuries and was rushed to Turbo Hospital where he succumbed. Area chief Moses Wanjala revealed that the suspect was being held at Likuyani Police Station waiting on arraignment.
