Police in Nyakach, Kisumu County, have arrested an 18-year-old boy after he hit to death a relative for allegedly calling his father a witch in Dirubi village.
His father, identified Valentine Ochieng, was later killed by an angry mob who invaded his home in retaliation.
The angry mob further went ahead to burn down four houses at the home of the suspect.
According to a police report, the suspect was in the company of his father on their way home when they bumped into the said relative who accused his father of being a witch.
The accused then got involved in an altercation with the relative and overpowered him before striking his head with a wooden stick.
The victim was rushed to Nyabondo mission hospital before later being transferred to the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) where he died.
Police say the angry mob then invaded the suspect’s father’s home and subjected him to mob injustice before setting his home ablaze.
The matter is being investigated by police.
