Police in Kisumu have apprehended an individual believed to be involved in the deadly stabbing of a man following a dispute over Ksh.50.

The deceased, whose identity has not been disclosed, was a student at the Kisumu Rotary Vocational Training Centre situated near the Fanana area. He suffered multiple stab wounds to the chest during the confrontation.

According to witnesses, the altercation stemmed from a disagreement over Ksh.50 at a betting establishment, which quickly escalated into violence.

On Thursday evening, tensions heightened in the vicinity as a group of young individuals sought to avenge the student’s death.

In response, authorities promptly arrested the suspect, known as Faiba, near the Kisumu bus park and effectively dispersed the gathering crowd.

He is expected to face legal charges once the investigation concludes.
