Authorities in Kerio Valley, Elgeyo Marakwet County, are on the hunt for a man accused of fatally attacking his brother with an arrow and machete.

The tragic incident followed an ongoing family dispute between the two siblings, identified as 33-year-old Elkana Kiprono Kisang, and his older brother, 35-year-old Edward Kiptarus Kisang.

Reports suggest the brothers had recently reconciled during a meeting at their family home in Boroko village, Kaben. Their mother, Kimoi Somokwony Suter, was present during the resolution talks.

However, shortly after the reconciliation, Elkana allegedly lured Edward to a nearby shopping center, where he launched a brutal attack. Edward sustained fatal injuries to his neck and chest, leading to his death on the spot.

The deceased's body was transferred to the Tot Hospital mortuary as detectives intensified efforts to track down the suspect.
