A man form Kakamega County has been placed under police custody for allegedly hitting his brother to death over Sardines comonly known as Omena.
The two brothers from Kambi Elijah village in Likuyani Constituency were sharing a meal at their mother’s house before they disagreed over a portion of the delicacy.
The incident saw the suspect identified as Albert Adamba descend on his 56-year-old brother John Kilibwa, who later succumbed to his injuries.
