Residents of Nakuru County,were left in shock after a neighbour allegedly slit a four-year-old’s throat.
According to reports, the child, Arnold Kibet, was playing with other children in the suspect’s homestead when he was killed for touching his building materials.
Mercy Chepkoech, the boy’s mother, explained that he found his boy while still alive but with deep cuts on the legs, hands, mouth and chest.
“My son was tortured. I cried when I saw him struggle to breathe. He was bleeding profusely from the throat, head, and mouth, and there were several injuries on the chest and legs,”narrated the mother.
According to witnesses, the assailant, who is not quite friendly in the neighbourhood, killed the boy in his hose after dragging him in.
“The child was playing with other children in the suspect’s homestead. This seemed to have annoyed the casual labourer. He took the minor into his house where he committed the awful act,” revealed one witness.
