On Thursday night, a 30-year-old man from the village of Riakinia in the Ndia Constituency of Kirinyaga County killed his 56-year-old mother with a machete.
Murimi Maina, the attacker, allegedly turned on his mother Jane Nyambura Maina when they couldn't agree on what crops to grow for coffee on a plot of property.
The horrific killing was allegedly sparked by Nyambura demolishing 20 coffee plants that Murimi, a butcher by trade, had grown on her land, Kirinyaga West Sub-County Police Commander Moses Koskei confirmed to Citizen Digital.
