Chiroi Abungana details the horrific moment his son, footballer Silas Abungana, was fatally struck by his younger brother following a petty domestic argument.

A father’s grief is a heavy burden, but Chiroi Abungana carries the weight of a double tragedy. His son, Kakamega Homeboyz star Silas Abungana, is dead. The killer? His other son. In a tearful testimony, Chiroi has laid bare the chilling events of the night that tore his family apart.
The incident, which occurred on Tuesday night, is a stark illustration of how fragile life can be. Silas, fresh from the adrenaline of the Premier League, was involved in a domestic spat with his younger brother, Denmark Muchiti. The dispute, centering on a disagreement involving Silas’s girlfriend and a retaliatory power cut, escalated within minutes from a shouting match to a homicide.
According to the father, the violence was sudden and brutal. Denmark, reportedly unable to control his temper after Silas cut his electricity, grabbed a heavy club. He didn't just threaten; he struck with intent. The blow floored the midfielder, causing catastrophic head injuries from which he would never wake.
"He hit him, and he fell. He was bleeding," Chiroi recounted, the trauma etched on his face. The subsequent flight of the suspect has denied the family even the closure of justice. They are left nursing a dying son one day and mourning him the next, while the perpetrator—their own flesh and blood—remains in the wind.
This is not just a police case; it is a family broken beyond repair. The Abungana household is now defined by the absence of two sons—one in the grave, the other a fugitive. The silence in their home is heavy with unspoken questions about how deep resentment must run to lead to such an act.
As investigations continue, the haunting image of a father explaining how one son killed the other will remain etched in the nation's conscience. It is a somber warning that the most dangerous conflicts often happen not on the streets, but behind the closed doors of home.
