Kin’s Quarrel Sparks Burnings of 18 Houses
- Share via
NAIROBI, Kenya — A quarrel between two brothers sparked a feud in which 18 homes were burned, 58 animals were slaughtered and an innocent passer-by was killed with a bow and arrow, the Kenya Times reported Tuesday.
The newspaper said the family quarrel flared into a fist fight between the two brothers in the village of Kachabukus near Nairobi. One lost his temper, seized a bow and arrow and opened fire. He missed his brother but killed an uninvolved man. Enraged relatives of the dead man then went on a rampage, storming the home of the killer, torching it and 17 neighboring grass-thatched houses and slaughtering 40 sheep and 18 goats.
