A man killed his elder brother after catching him having sex with their mother. The incident took place in Kegati Village, Kenya, on Sunday.

On Sunday night, the unidentified man arrived at his mother’s home to check on her. Upon not finding her around, he went back. He returned two hours later. When he couldn’t find her anywhere, he called her but she didn’t answer. He then broke the window of the home and found his mother and elder brother in bed. The two were drunk.

When the elder brother tried to flee, the accused slashed him with a knife. He then called the neighbors and showed him what he had done.

Recalling the incident, one of the neighbors said, “When we arrived we found the deceased seriously injured and his mother was in bed drunk. When police officers arrived about three hours later, he had already succumbed to the injuries.” Neighbors said they knew about the victim’s relationship with his mother and that the victim’s father worked in Nairobi.

Police said the victim’s mother was taken into custody and the accused remained at large. The victim’s body was sent for autopsy.
