It all began on last week when Mr Chacha, 32, and his wife, Mary Chacha, 24, reportedly got into an argument in Gibarori village, Migori County.
When Mr Chacha started beating his wife and she realised her life was in danger, she ran to her mother-in-law’s house to hide but the man pursued her there.
He allegedly continued battering her making the mother-in-law to raise an alarm for help. The screaming caught the attention of the neighbour, Ronald Chacha, 24, who came to rescue the woman.
Little did he know that this act of kindness would cost him his life.
When Mr Ronald moved closer, Mr Chacha, the husband, alleged hit him in the head with the metal rod that he had used to beat his wife.
Mr Ronald fell down and started bleeding profusely. The good neighbour was rushed to Mother and Child Hospital, before being transferred to Kehancha Sub-County Hospital where again he was later referred to Migori Level Four Hospital. Unfortunately, the good neighbor was pronounced dead on arrival.
His assailant then fled. Detectives traced him to Motemorabu in neighbouring Tanzania. He was arrested and was arraigned in court for murder.
Confirming the incident, Kuria East sub-county Police Commander told the Nation that Mr David Chacha, was presented to court on Monday.
Meanwhile, Mr Ronald’s body was moved to the Kehancha Sub-County Hospital morgue.
