Trouble started when the suspect cut down the tree which was being claimed by his younger brother.
"The tree was planted by my brother whose ear was bit off," said a Mr Ng'etich.
The witness said the suspect then fled the scene after committing the act.
"We do not know what he is going to do next because he fled with a panga and had threatened to kill someone," said Ng'etich. Area Assistant Chief Gladys Kurgat said the police have launched a manhunt for the suspect.
"I was informed by area Nyumba Kumi chairman that two brothers had fought over a tree. I rushed to the scene and found one of them had his ear bit off and that's when I called the police," said Ms Kurgat.
