DCI Nairobi – A man who reportedly killed his son by slitting his throat using a kitchen knife, has this afternoon been arrested as he attempted to flee the country.
Nehemiah Asiago 41, was arrested in the nick of time, as he prepared to board a Qatar-bound flight after engaging homicide detectives in cat and mouse game since June last year, when he committed the crime.
In an incident that shocked villagers of Bomakombi in Suneka, Asiago killed his son Byron Asiago after a domestic squable and immediately went into hiding.
Byron’s brother told detectives that a disagreement arose after their father who was intoxicated, demanded to know what he had brought home from his day at the local centre.
Incensed by his father’s remarks since he was jobless & had gone to look for a job that didn’t come by, Byron posed a similar question to his father, asking him what he had to show for his day’s activities other than returning home in a drunken stupor.
This prompted a scuffle, that led to his death. Since then, Nehemiah went into hiding & has been operating between Nakuru & Nairobi until today afternoon, when our hawk-eyed sleuths pounced on him as he was preparing to fly out.
Detectives are currently interrogating the suspect for further details into the murder.
