In a tragic incident in Kilingot village, Baringo north, Kenya, a 23-year-old man named Silas Kipkosgei has been accused of stabbing his 4-year-old nephew to death.
Shockingly, the man was also the guardian of the young boy. Reports suggest that the suspect enticed the child with sweets and rock cakes at his residence before mercilessly stabbing him in the neck three times.
According to Solomon Cheptumo, an elder in the community, the boy’s grandmother returned from the farm to check on her grandson and serve him lunch. However, she was unable to locate him and subsequently called out to the suspect, who was inside the house but remained unresponsive.
Eye witness reported saying;
“She then peeped through the window, seeing Kipkosgei sitting at the edge of the sofa watching his nephew, with some blood flowing on the sofa, she pleaded with him to open the door but he did not respond, and that’s when she suspected something was wrong and called out for help from the neighbors.”
“Upon arrival, we made our way inside the living room, and to our shock found Kipkosgei drinking water from a cup while staring at the body of the deceased which was lying lifeless on the sofa with blood oozing from the stabbed wounds”.
