A suspect surrendered to police and reported he had stabbed and killed his brother in an altercation at Karinde area, Kikuyu, Kiambu County.

Police said the body of Daniel Kamau Ndungi was discovered lying in a pool of blood after the murder on October 21, 2025.

Police said the assailant and his deceased brother were at the latter's house when an altercation broke out over unknown reasons.

The assailant, who is a younger brother, picked up a kitchen knife that he used to stab Ndungi in the abdomen, killing him on the spot.

The killing happened in the sitting room where the deceased lay on a mattress on the floor.
