The court heard that Omollo arrived at home on the fateful day at 11pm from a drinking spree. Omollo, who resides in Nyawitta area of Kisumu, is alleged to have demanded for food but there was none, as his wife Monica Kibisu had consumed it together with the two children.

The matter was reported to the police the following morning, where Omollo was arrested.
