“Investigation is ongoing, after which he would be charged to court.

Wife of the suspect, Mrs Georgina Aguluka, explained that trouble started when Cletus came home in the night, drunk and looked for his touch light without success.

“The children told him that they didn’t know where it was and he pretended that all was well, only for him to wake up around 1 a.m; went inside his room, brought out a machete and stabbed the daughter’’.

She, however, blamed the sad incident on her husband’s new found love for drinking.
