Brother attack each other with pangas fighting over land.

UGENYA: Police in Ukwala are currently detaining two individuals suspected of perpetrating a violent attack following a dispute over land.

The victim, identified as Benard Ochieng, suffered severe lacerations to his forehead as a result of the altercation.

The two assailants, identified as brothers Collins Otieno and Michael Omondi, are slated to appear before the Ukwala Magistrates Court to face assault charges.

He is currently receiving treatment at Sega Mission Hospital in critical condition.
