A FAMILY in Bahati, Nakuru County, is in pain after their son, a 73-year-old man, was brutally murdered by a hitman allegedly hired by his family.

A family of four has stunned residents of Bahati in Nakuru County after allegedly coming together and hiring a hitman to kill their father and husband.

In a story shared on NTV Kenya, it emerged that a mother and her children hatched a plan to eliminate Peter Kimani on Sunday after an alleged dispute over land.

On February 15, Joyce Wanjiru said her workers were unable to access the equipment they needed, and when the young lady entered the house, she found her father lying in a pool of blood and started screaming, only to realise too late that the old man had been injured badly on the head.

Two blood-stained wooden rods found in the pit latrine were received by the police, believed to have been recovered in the assault.

A granddaughter of the deceased man said that they met the deceased man, and he had scratches on his hand, and when they asked him, he said that he had just been scratched, but a child told them that someone had bitten him. —Yahoonews
