The deceased, Joseph Cheptoo Maiyo, got married recently and rented a house in Kerio Valley five kilometers away from his parents’ home. One day , he visited the parents’ home and forcefully made away with cooking sufurias.
Speaking to the media, the mother to the deceased said that the son returned home and demanded to have sufurias because he had married but had no sufurias. The father refused asking him to work hard to buy his own items.
The father and son started throwing harsh words and a fist fight ensued. The deceased wrestled the old man to the ground and escaped with two sufurias.
