Jackson Musila, 28, is alleged to have attacked his relative Wycliffe Mboya on October 17, 2017 at their Kasani village in Kakamega County using a machete.
The accused, in his defence told Senior Resident Magistrate Erick Malesi that all prosecution witnesses who were his close relatives were biased since there is a pending land tussle.
“My father has received threats to surrender the land or rot in jail,” he said.
