A man is said to have killed his mother at Mumooni village in Budalang’i for blocking sale of family land. Millie Musirimba and Rose Ajiambo, the suspects’ sisters, said their also father succumbed to injuries inflicted on him by the suspect some time back.
Millie said her brother had earlier told her that his wife was uncomfortable staying with the mother-in-law in the same homestead.
He was adamant that he would sell the land and buy another parcel in Uganda.
The suspect is said to have returned home recently from Sigulu Island where he has been staying for long. He was infuriated when he found out the mother had cut down some trees to burn charcoal for sale.
Rose was informed yesterday morning that her brother had attacked their mother. She rushed back home and found her mother’s body in a corner of the home.
Bunyala Officer Commanding Police Division Peterson Nyakundi said a manhunt for the suspect had been launched.
The body was taken to Busia County Referral Hospital’s mortuary.
