It is alleged that the deceased Joshua Obutu Aloys met his death after a fight broke at a local bar on Saturday. Jeremiah Masiemo said Obutu was stabbed to death by his friend who he had gone to drink alcohol with.

"Obutu was drunk when his friend whose identity is yet to be revealed started causing trouble in the bar under the influence of alcohol. The deceased tried to calm his friend down in vain. The suspect removed a knife not knowing it was Obutu and stabbed him," he said.

"He died on his way to the hospital because he lost a lot of blood," said Onkundi.

"The suspect has gone into hiding but, he is being hunted down," said the chief. 

He said the deceased body was moved to Nyangena hospital morgue.
