A 60-year-old man who works as a herdsboy in one home in Ekalakala, Masinga sub-county, Machakos county died after he was attacked by oxen and later trampled on.
Confirming the incident, Masinga OCPD Mashua Juma said that the man heard some commotion in the cow shed where he got out to see what the problem was.
On getting there he found two oxen in a serious fight where he tried to separate them.
"He thought he could separate the oxen only for them to attack and kill him," said Juma.
The body of the man was taken to Matuu median hospital mortuary.
