Nairobi — Detectives have arrested a 27-year old man identified as Milton Namatsi in connection to the gruesome murder of renowned football fan Isaac Juma.

According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Namatsi is among a group of people who attacked Juma at his home in Mumias, hacking him to death last night.

The DCI has further stated that the suspect will be arraigned in court tomorrow, even as fans from all over the country called on the government to act with speed on the issue.

According to the DCI, the suspect was picked from his house by sleuths based in Mumias, after preliminary investigations linked him to the murder.

Juma was hacked to death at his home on Wednesday night, just after taking dinner with his family at their home. It is suspected that his murder revolves around a land dispute with some members of his family.

Information from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations states that children who were taking their supper outside the house had reported seeing silhouettes of human beings lurking against the fence.

They went back to the house and reported to their parents who took the matter lightly. Moments later, they heard a commotion in the sheep pen and immediately afterwards the sheep began bleating, prompting Juma and his 17-year-old son to dash outside.

However, before they could establish what was happening, a group of men armed with machetes attacked them, hacking Juma to death.

His 17-year old son however managed to cheat death narrowly, by escaping to the farm.
