According to official reports, Rose Osomo, 31, reported the incident to authorities, and a team was sent to the property, where they discovered the terrible aftermath of the altercation.

Nyandigo was found lying in a pool of her blood with injuries to her back and chest, while her 10-year-old grandson had knife wounds to his chest, face, arms, legs, and stomach.

"The grandson was rushed to Nyahururu county referral hospital where he is undergoing treatment though in serious condition," read the report in part.

Mungai allegedly attempted to run after the event but was pursued by boda boda riders, prompting him to rush to the police station for protection.
