The mysterious circumstances surrounding the demise of a 47-year-old man at Senator Boni Khalwale’s residence in Malinya, Ikolomani, are currently under investigation by detectives in Kakamega.
Sources indicate that investigators discovered the lifeless body of the victim, Kizito Moi, on Sunday inside the senator’s bull stable. It appeared that the victim had sustained multiple injuries from the bull horns.
Kizito Moi was employed by Senator Khalwale and held the responsibility of caring for the legislator’s renowned fighting bulls.
In a media interview, Senator Khalwale characterized the incident as unintentional. He suggested that the deceased might have been intoxicated at the time, leading to an aggressive reaction from one of the bulls, specifically named “Inasio.”
Senator Khalwale shared a video where he claimed to have speared the bull to death, following customary practices. Footage from the incident on Sunday, January 28, depicted the senator surrounded by relatives while wielding a spear.
“My champion bull, Inasio, has attacked and instantly killed Kizito Moi Amukune. Moi has been the caretaker of my fighter bulls for over 20 years,” Khalwale conveyed on X.
“In accordance with our cultural norms, I have today speared bull Inasio to death.”
Subsequently, the deceased’s body has been moved to the Kakamega County General Hospital mortuary for an autopsy. Investigations into the unusual circumstances surrounding Kizito Moi’s death continue.
