A man in Salama Village in Lugari Ward in Lugari Sub-County, Kakamega County, has gone into hiding after deliberately pouring scalding hot tea on his two-year-old son.
The man reportedly started assaulting the toddler by beating him when the child tried to follow him.
The situation escalated when the infuriated father seized tea directly from the boiling fireplace and poured it onto the innocent child.
According to a witness interviewed by WKT, the young boy sustained severe injuries on his hand as a result of the cruel act.
Lugari OCPD Bernard Ngungu said the incident has not been officially reported but assured that his officers will conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and arrest the accused father.
