A 34-year-old man on Saturday evening killed his wife, 6-year-old son, uncle, and stepmother using a machete in the Muhoroni sub-county.
According to Julius Omollo, the man lured his 70-year-old uncle to come out of his house to intervene in an imaginary fight between some family members.
“The moment he stepped out, he was hacked on the head twice and he dropped down dead. He does not drink alcohol nor bhang, whatever that got to his head to commit this henious act stiff baffles me,” he said.
Further, the suspect then fled into the sugarcane plantation leaving the villagers terrified of where next he will strike.
A former area MCA, Samuel Ongou, said the villagers did not sleep, opting to keep vigil least the suspect re-appears to attack.
