A family in Bomwanda, Bonchari constituency in Kisii County is yet to come to terms after unknown people stabbed their only cow to death.
Nicholas Gisemba said the family woke up on Wednesday only to find the cow lying dead inside the cowshed.
"I personally locked the cow inside the cowshed last night. It is shocking that this morning when I woke up to take the cow to a grazing field only to find it stabbed several times deadly," he said.
According to Gisemba, the cow's killers broke into the cowshed before stabbing it several times all over the body.
He called on the local chief and police officers to speed up investigations and nab the killers.
Area chief Mr John Ongoro said the matter is being investigated.
He appealed to residents to report anyone they suspect might have killed the cow.
"The cow died a painful death because of the several stabbing. People should stop being jealous of other people's property," he noted.
The administrator challenged locals to be on the watch and ensure no one kills their livestock, especially at night.
