Kakamega Senator Boni Khalwale’s bull that he uses in his bullfighting activities has killed his 47 year old worker in his home in Kakamega.
The victim has been herding the bull for five years before the unfortunate incident was pierced to death at the senator’s home in Malinya, Kakamega County.
According to the Senator, the man who has been working in his homestead for 24 years came home seemingly drunk on the fateful day of the incident. The worker could have possibly hit the bull in shock as it rushed towards him prompting the animal, used to fighting, to respond in self defence.

“He came back after taking busaa which smells like molasses. The bull rushed towards him, attracted by the smell. He might have hit the animal in shock, making the bull react in defence as it usually does.”
However, the Boni Khalwale’s bull charged and pierced the man through the neck causing the death of the 47 year old man. “There is a horn that got him in the neck. That is what probably killed him.”
According to Luhya traditions, the bull has since been slaughtered in accordance with the cultural norms after the bull caused the death of a human.
