Two brothers in Butula sub-county are in custody after beating up their elder brother who attacked their mother over food.
According to the DCI, the deceased, 32, got home drunk at around 8pm and demanded food from his mother.
“When she responded that food was not ready, the 32-year-old son descended on her with blows and kicks leaving her wailing in despair, for dear life,” wrote the DCI.
At this point, her other sons Pascaliano Odhiambo, 29 and Bonventure Ouma, 19, immediately rushed to rescue their mother and found Juma assaulting her.
They allegedly gave him a thorough beating before retiring to bed.
