The deceased, 32-year-old Fred Khamasi, a youth leader at African Divine Church (ADC), left his home at around 9pm Sunday without disclosing where he was going, his wife, Ann Alusa, Said.
“Later, at around 11pm, he returned home with deep panga cuts inflicted to his head, arms and different parts of his body. Blood was gushing from the cut parts,” said Alusa.
