A Kingangop man who allegedly hacked his 80-year-old mother to death, surrendered to police and announced he had accomplished his mission on earth.
The 41-year-old man was said to have mental challenges due to abusing bhang for years, Nyandarua North OCPD Francis Mwangi said.

OCPD Mwangi said the old woman was dragged out of her house, then attacked with a panga.
“The suspect and reported the matter to the police station while the woman was rushed to North Kinangop Hospital where she was declared dead on arrival,” he told the Star.
