Popular football fan Isaac Juma,56, was allegedly hacked to death last night by unknown people at his family home in Rukaya village, Mumias, Kakamega County

“They killed him at around 9 pm,” said his second wife Farida Juma. 

According to her Juma was involved in a land feud.

Mumias West OCPD Stephen Muoni confirmed Juma’s death, adding that one of the two key suspects has since been arrested in relation to the incident as a manhunt for the other continues.

"We may as well arraign him today depending on how fast our investigations materialise," said Muoni.

"He was in his house when he heard a commotion in his sheep pen. Going out together with his son and brother the two men hacked Juma to death as his son and brother narrowly escaped," added the OCPD.

Juma’s body has since been moved to Butere Sub County Hospital.
