Detectives in Kisii on Saturday opened a probe into the bizarre incident where a minor's eyes were gouged out in a Thursday night attack in Marani. They have questioned the father of the boy, Thomas Ongaga- who lives with the children alone after separating from their mother. County police boss Mutungi Musyoki, however, said they are only questioning the father as part of the preliminary investigations. There were other conflicting reports that they were in the company of other children and that they had been sent to fetch water when he broke away from the team only to be found later, soaked in blood with eyes gouged out. Kisii Eye Hospital director Dan Kiage said that the boy was in bad shape when he was brought in.
