Two deaths were reported in Trans Nzoia County over the weekend in incidents related to the consumption of illicit brew in Nashanda village, Kwanza constituency.
The violent incidents, which occurred on the night of May 10, have sparked public outrage and renewed calls for a crackdown on illegal brewers and rogue law enforcement officers accused of turning a blind eye to the brewing problem.
In the first incident, Ronald Wekhomba, 45, was brutally hacked to death in an unlicensed alcohol den.
He was reportedly drinking with other customers when he was attacked with a machete, sustaining fatal injuries to the back of his head.
