The High Court in Kakamega was forced to stop proceedings when a key witness could not bear recollecting the grave details of the murder of her father in July last year.

During the Friday, October 28 incident, Josephine Kigasha fainted while telling how her former lover, Collins Oluoch walked into their Hamisi home in Vihiga and bludgeoned to death her father before her very own eyes.
