A man who is accused of using a kitchen knife to stab his mother several times and threatened to kill her for allegedly doing nothing to make him have a happy life has been charged.
Arvin Amuhanda Shayuga was charged with threatening to kill Beatrice Ayuma Shayuga in March 2023 in the Waithaka area in Dagoretti Sub-county within Nairobi County.
The accused person is said to have committed the offence on March 31 at the Kwanyama area in Riruta, Dagoreti Sub-county, within Nairobi County.
The accused allegedly ambushed his mother who was in the bedroom moments after claiming that he had been assaulted by someone.
He was also charged with the offence of creating disturbances.
The accused person was also charged with damaging a thermos flask, his mother’s property and another count of assaulting his mother resulting in serious injuries on her arm.
In court, the accused person denied the charges before Principal Magistrate Anne Mwangi.
She directed that the accused person be supplied with a witness statement and documentary evidence that the prosecution intended to rely on.
The magistrate released him on Sh100,000 bond with a surety of the same amount.
The matter will be mentioned on April 17 for further directions.
