  • Two brothers accused of killing their father are alleged to have disgareed with their father over the sale of a cow.

Two brothers suspected of killing their father in Msaroni Village, Kinango Sub-County, have surrendered to the police.

Rima Mbui, 35, and Ndurya Mbui, 30, surrendered themselves at Vigurungani Police Station in Kwale County and were arrested.

COURT

Kwale County Commissioner Karuku Ngumo said the two would be arraigned in court in connection with their father’s murder.

"They will be arraigned in court once investigations are complete," he said.

The suspects are alleged to have killed their father Mwaringa Katana, 55, on Tuesday using a blunt object following a disagreement over a cow he wanted to sell.

KILLING

Meanwhile police have intensified a manhunt for Onesmus Mutuku Kilonzo, who is suspected of killing his wife in Maendeleo Village in the same sub-County.

Police have linked the Tuesday 1am killing to a domestic quarrel over a phone.

The suspect is accused of hacking his wife to death using a panga and fleeing the scene.

Mr Ngumo urged members of the public to cooperate with the police and help in the arrest of the suspect.
