A woman from Suba North, Homa Bay County, has narrated a distressing incident where she was reportedly assaulted by her uncles shortly after her mother passed away.

Triza Awuor claims that upon arriving at her family home, she found her uncles removing belongings belonging to her late mother. When she confronted them, urging patience until after the funeral, the situation escalated, resulting in her being beaten.

Details of the Incident

  • The assault occurred around 7 pm and happened in front of Awuor’s four siblings.
  • Awuor’s mother is currently at Kirindo Mortuary, while her father had died earlier and was buried.
  • She expressed concern not only about the property dispute but also about the welfare of her younger siblings, who had reportedly not been fed since their mother’s death.

Visible injuries such as a swollen eye and wounds were evident in a video shared on TikTok by musician Atommy Sifa, who called on local leaders in Suba North to intervene and resolve the matter.

Community Reaction

The video sparked widespread sympathy online, with many urging Awuor to focus on her siblings’ care and the upcoming funeral rather than the inheritance dispute at this time.

Comments highlighted the need to avoid family conflicts during mourning and encouraged patience until after the burial.
