Bungoma man was arrested after he allegedly strangled his two year old daughter to death on Monday at his home in Nzoia village, Webuye East.
Mike Juma is suspected to have murdered the innocent child after a domestic squabble with his wife. The child was found with her leg severed and a rope tied around her neck.
The suspect’s father Moses Simiyu, who was living with the young girl, said he received the news of the girls’ death while at his farm.
He said the child’s mother left after she disagreed with Juma about a year ago. “At first, I thought the caller was joking. I asked my wife to go check and she found the child had been strangled,” he said.
Webuye East OCPD Zacheus Ngeno said ,Juma was arrested as he attempted to flee to Kakamega and he will be charged with murder.
The body was taken to Webuye sub-county hospital morgue.
