Dalmas Achara, 24 was three weeks ago released from Kodiaga Prison, where he was being held for robbery with violence. It is not clear why he was released. He has beheaded his father and chopped off his private parts. Angry villagers at Kongonyi in the outskirts of Kisumu have lynched him.
Kisumu Central OCPD Ancent Kaloki said the Achara, who killed his father, was saved from the mob by AP officers and taken to Jaramogi Teaching and Referral Hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. Mr Kaloki said police were investigating the matter and asked witnesses to volunteer information.
Area Assistant Chief Nancy Onditi said the man killed his father after a struggle in their house near the Kisumu International Airport. ”He killed his 48-year-old father Omondi Achara, a jua Kali artisan, then cut off his head and private parts before injuring other villagers and security guards.”
The two are said to have been living together at their home since Dalmas was released from prison. Onditi said residents had reported that the suspect was violent. ”The boy was very violent to villagers and we had received reports from the neighbours, but the father protected him.”
Before the incident, Dalmas had been spotted with a group of friends. He was said to have been uncharacteristically calm.
