By VIVERE NANDIEMOMore by this AuthorNine people have been charged before Migori Magistrates Court with killing five members of a family. Trouble started when one Mr Joel Awuonda was attacked with machetes following a protracted family squabble which started last year. The residents allege that last week, Mr Elijah Dwallo, the convict’s father, threatened to 'kill' Mr Awuonda for causing the imprisonment of his son. DIEDOn Thursday evening, residents said, Mr Awuonda, who later died, suddenly fell ill and attempts to seek help from a traditional healer alleged that his ‘ailment’ had been caused by Mr Dwallo's family. A group of irate villagers descended on Mr Dwallo’s homestead at night and burnt houses, killing the five people.
