A jealous Kenyan lover has
chopped off a 16-year-old boy's arm after spotting him with his girlfriend.
The victim, identified as
Kevin Odhiambo who is currently admitted at the Matata Nursing Home, was said
to be flirting with one of the suspect's girlfriend, Jane Anyango, at a funeral
in the area.
The suspect, Samuel Dinda,
having got agitated after seeing them together, went in company of his friends
to attack Odhiambo with a machete.
According to a police
report, Odhiambo was hitting on Samuel Dinda’s girlfriend, a form two student
at Yala Mixed Secondary School.
Speaking after the
incident, Kevin’s uncle, Dennis Ogelo said: 'Odhiambo is an orphan and I
have been taking care of him. It is sad since he was to report to Kwoyo
Secondary School, but now he is in hospital nursing serious injuries. We rushed
him here after he started bleeding profusely.'
Mr Ogelo also said the
suspect had earlier warned his nephew against taking to the girl before the
incident
'Dinda had warned Odhiambo
against talking to the girl who was also at the funeral. He had seen them
talking and laughing.'
The Migori Police have
launched a manhunt for the suspect and his accomplice's after they escaped
following the wrongful act.
