Nehemiah Asiago, 41, who is accused of murder in Bomakombi, Suneka, was apprehended on Friday while attempting to flee the country to Qatar.
Asiago is accused of slitting his son’s throat with a kitchen knife in June of last year.
Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations apprehended him as he prepared to board a flight to Qatar.
Asiago, according to the DCI, murdered his son Byron Asiago after a domestic squabble and then fled to Mexico.
“Byron’s brother told detectives that a disagreement arose after their father, who was intoxicated, demanded to know what he had brought home from his day at the local center,” the Directorate said in a statement distributed via Twitter.
“Incensed by his father’s comments, Byron asked him a similar question, asking him what he had to show for his day’s activities other than returning home in a drunken stupor, because he was jobless and had gone to look for a job that didn’t come by.”
This allegedly sparked a fight, which resulted in the young man’s death.
“Since then, Asiago has gone into hiding and has been operating between Nakuru and Nairobi until this afternoon, when our hawk-eyed sleuths pounced on him as he was about to fly out,” said the DCI.
