A 17-year-ol boy made away with 17 cows ahead of his father’s fourth wedding in Tana River County.
The teenager and the father had a fight over the decision of his father marrying a fourth wife, allegedly 17-year-old girl.
He had also accused his father of barring him from marrying, claiming he was selfish and wanted to waste resources.
The father collapsed and fell ill after learning of the incident on waking up on to find no dowry. The teenager had locked him inside his house before escaping with the dowry at 2 a.m.
“My brother has been introducing the bride he wants to marry to our father, but it seems our father has his own preference of the kind of women he wants us to marry, so he keeps rejecting our choices. We did not have a peaceful night on Sunday, October 4. They almost went for each other’s throats, to the point that my father disowned him,” the boy’s brother said.
The boy is said to have headed towards Boni Forest with the livestock as the father was rushed to a private hospital in Garsen for medication.
