What was meant to be a sumptuous lunch for two brothers turned into a family nightmare after they turned against each other and one was stabbed to death during a quarrel over milk.
In an incident that left residents of Tegunot village, Kericho County, Kenya in shock, Peter Kiprotich Chelugut, 39, stabbed his brother Charles Chelugut Churugoi, 37, killing him on the spot.
It is not clear what really transpired that saw the late pay for the milk with his life but police said that the suspect was being questioned.
The police report revealed that Charles was stabbed on the neck and bled profusely leading to his death.
“The scene was visited by authorities who removed the body after documentation by the scenes of crime personnel,” the report read in part.
