Okiri’s brother Henry Okello was approaching the home and when Okiri saw him, he said the dog was barking because of Okello’s arrival. When Okello heard his brother’s remark, he became angry and accused Okiri of calling him a dog. The 75-year-old swung his walking stick and struck Okiri on the head accusing him of disrespect. By the time neighbours got to the home, Okiri was dead, Bori was bleeding and Okello had retreated to his home. Arraigned in court, facing murder charges, Okello said his brother insulted him and while a fight ensued, he did not intend to kill him.
