Killing your dad over undercooked cornmeal mush is definitely peak insanity. Police in Lang'ata started investigating after a twenty-year-old Peter Olwenye allegedly stabbed Joseph Okello to death. The dispute started because the seventy-year-old father complained that his son used lukewarm water to make dinner inside their Mugumoini location residence.
Witnesses claim the argument turned violent fast. A simple kitchen critique about cooking methods escalated into a fatal brawl. Senior Chief George Mukuria suspects the young man might have been under the influence of drugs during the attack that left his parents dead on the spot.
The victim suffered multiple stab wounds to his neck and back. Locals mobilized quickly to hunt down the fleeing suspect in Soweto. They caught Olwenye and handed him over to officers from Lang’ata Police Station who were patrolling the area.
Authorities moved the remains to the Nairobi Funeral Home for an autopsy. Detectives are currently piecing together evidence to charge the suspect legally. Law enforcement confirmed the tragedy resulted from a disagreement over basic culinary rules.
