Authorities in Migori County are investigating the fatal stabbing of Peter Barante Mogesi, who was attacked on August 9, 2026, at Kogori Village.
Mogesi was clearing land alongside his 13-year-old grandson when his nephew allegedly confronted him wielding a panga. The victim sustained severe wounds to his right cheek, neck, and chest, and was declared dead at the scene.
Local assistant chief Nyansiri Jones promptly reported the incident to police, who documented the crime scene before transferring Mogesi's body to Wima Hospital mortuary for a post-mortem examination. The suspect fled and remains at large as police pursue a manhunt.
