The incident was also confirmed by area Assistant Chief Nancy Onditi who said that the young man also turned violent when residents attempted to intervene.
He reportedly injured residents and security guards from the nearby Kisumu International Airport.
“He killed his 48-year-old father Omondi Achara, a Jua Kali artisan, then cut off his head and private parts before injuring other villagers and security guards,” the administrator was quoted y the Standard.
She added that villagers had reported Achara to the authorities for being violent but his father had always been at hand to protect him.
