Sunday, January 18, 2026 - Law enforcement officers from Baragoi Police Station have arrested a 30-year-old man suspected of brutally killing his 16-year-old nephew in Tuum Location, Samburu North Sub-County.
The suspect, Daniel
Tanapua, is accused of fatally attacking Alpha Lemoosa following
a domestic disagreement that reportedly erupted shortly after the two shared an
evening meal.
What began as a minor dispute quickly escalated into a
violent confrontation, resulting in the teenager’s death.
Upon arriving at the scene, police officers found Alpha’s
body lying in a pool of blood.
A blood-stained
Somali sword, believed to have been used in the attack, was
recovered by investigators.
The body was later transferred to Baragoi Sub-County Hospital mortuary
for preservation and post-mortem examination.
Police launched an immediate and coordinated manhunt,
meticulously tracking the suspect’s movements.
Tanapua was eventually arrested at his hideout, where
officers found him allegedly attempting to wash blood-stained clothes in an
effort to destroy evidence.
The suspect is currently being held in police custody as investigations continue, pending his arraignment in court.
