In a heart-wrenching incident that has left a Tanzanian family devastated, seven members lost their lives after ingesting poison, reportedly placed in their food by a neighbour.
The motive behind this shocking act of violence stems from the neighbour's anger over the alleged theft of his chicken by the children of the victimized family.
The tragic incident, which occurred in November 2023, came to light as a report by Tanzania's Millard Ayo detailed the gruesome aftermath.
The local police commissioner confirmed the disturbing details, stating,
"Kulitoke tukio kubwa ambalo lilitikisa mkoa wetu. Lengo lilikuwa ni kulipiza kisasi na washtakiwa waote wamekiri kushiriki tukio hili na wanasema waliumizwa na kitendo cha watoto wale kula kuku wao." ("An incident occurred that shook our region. The goal was revenge, and all the accused have confessed to participating in this act, stating that they were hurt by the children eating their chicken.")
The accused neighbour, fueled by a sense of retribution, reportedly laced the victims' food with poison.
The consequences were devastating, resulting in the loss of seven lives and leaving four others injured.
The brutality of the act has sent shockwaves through the community, prompting condemnation from the local police.
"Haiwezekani jogoo mmoja apelekee vifo vya watu saba na majeruhi wanne, hawa hatutakuwa nao na huruma (It is unacceptable for one rooster to lead to the deaths of seven people and injuries to four others; we will not have mercy on them)' remarked Kamanda wa Jeshi la Polisi la Kagera, Chatanda.
One of the suspects attempted to evade justice by seeking refuge in Burundi but was subsequently apprehended.
The suspects claimed that their extreme actions were a response to the victimized family's failure to offer an apology for the alleged theft of the chicken.
