He slashed the boy with a panga, claiming that he was very furious after his wife told him that she intended to register the her son using the name of his biological father.

Police said the suspect waited until the child’s aunt (where the boy had been taken after the disagreement) was about to close the door for the night and stormed in and wrestled with her as he tried to access the house where the child was.

“It is clear that he intended to kill the innocent child since he had carried with him a machete and did not touch the deceased’s cousin who is two years old. He will charged with murder,” said Murang’a County Police Commander Josphat Kinyua.

The police boss said he is perturbed by the increased murder incidents in Murang’a County and around the country and pleaded with aggrieved parties to always use legal means or the clan structures to solve their problems instead of killing each other.
