A father engages in a physical fight with his 13-year-old son

Residents of Khalaba ward, Kanduyi constituency in Bungoma County are still reeling in shock after a father engaged his 13 year old son in a physical fight.

It is alleged that the father, who is not the biological father to the estranged son arrived home drunk of chang'aa and headed for the kitchen where his son and wife were.

"Ambia bwanako atoke nje nataka kuongea nawewe" the father was heard saying. (Tell your husband to get out; I want to talk to you.)

These words irritated the son who wanted to know why his father could utter them. He wondered why his father referred to him as his mother’s husband. This led to a heated argument between the two, which later degenerated into a physical fight.

The mother could not help stop the fight because the two were angry and over powered her with their strength. When she ran out to ask for help from the neighbors, it was too late. The son had overpowered the father, beat him thoroughly and escaped for his own safety. In a bit of rage, the said father armored with a panga slashed to death three pigs which belonged to the son.

Since the incident the two of them have not set eyes on each other. For now the son is living with a close relative.
