Man kills his brother in domestic fight
A man was taken into custody after he fatally attacked his brother during a domestic dispute in Bonyunyu village, located in Nyamira County.
The lifeless body of George Momanyi, 54, was discovered in a pool of blood within a banana plantation shortly after the incident occurred early Saturday morning, according to police reports.
It seems that an argument had erupted between the brothers for reasons that remain unclear, escalating into violence.
The younger brother pursued George into the banana plantation, where he struck him with a fatal blow.
A family member recounted seeing the assailant return to his home, clutching a piece of wood stained with blood, which raised immediate concerns.

The remains were transported to the mortuary, awaiting an autopsy. Meanwhile, the younger brother has been arrested on murder charges, as confirmed by the police.
