Catechist survives lynching, fined a bull and goat

A catechist attached to Malaba Catholic parish on Sunday evening survived death after he was caught in bed with a widow.

John Okala, a resident of Kachomo village was caught red handed with Matilida Balayo, a wife to the late John Ochili of Nyalakot village in Osukuru Sub County.

After conducting church service, Okala headed to Balayo's home "buy" sorghum.

Okala instead took her on a drinking spree where they had all lots of fun without knowing that they were being tracked by Sylvester Isogol Obila who was due to inherit Balayo.

The couple was caught soon after entering Balayo's house by her in-laws who had surrounded the house armed with all sorts of weapons.

Attempts by Okala to take off after realizing danger were blocked as he was beaten together with his sweetheart and locked in the house until Monday morning when they were then released.

Appearing before the Ipasama luk' imukuny clan court headed by Mandres Isogol alias Osuku, Olaka was fined one bull, a goat and a chicken.

Olaka pleaded guilty and told the court that he had acted as a good Samaritan to escort Balayo back home since they were all moving towards the same direction. He accepted to hire off his piece of land and get money to meet the requirements.

However Flister Abbo, Olaka's wedded wife caused drama when she came and threw the wedding ring in Olaka's face.
