On Tuesday evening, a 19-year-old man was arrested after human body parts were discovered inside the butchery he operated in Mbale town, as reported by Vuuka FM, a local station in Vihiga County.
According to the report, the young man, identified as James Okangi, pleaded with officers, insisting he was not guilty. He claimed that he didn’t even know who had been supplying the meat to the butchery.
James explained that his father was the one who knew how human flesh ended up in the butchery. "I'm 19 years old and not the owner of this butchery; my father is the one who brought all the meat that's inside," he said.
However, James led detectives to their home to find his father. Upon arriving, his father reportedly slapped him, calling him an idiot for showing the police officers where he was.
James was arrested and detained at Vihiga Police Station, where he is awaiting arraignment on Monday.
