One person has been arrested by police officers in Kisumu and two others are still at large following the attack that led to the death of a manager of one of the local Ohangla musicians.

The deceased known as Cmm Clemmo was known as Ohangla musician Emma Jalamo's manager.

According to the Kisumu central OCPD Anthony Maina, the person arrested was accompanied by two others when they attacked revealers at a local joint.

"Today morning we had a very unfortunate incident".

Maina told the media that three men early this morning forced themselves into one of the entertainment joints around Kondele, where they overpowered the security guards and gained entrance.

He said after that, three later stabbed two revealers at the joint.

"Police were called and they rushed to the scene where we immediately rushed the two to the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital but unfortunately we lost one," he said.

"We have one of the attackers currently being treated at the same facility under police watch and he will be later arraigned in court when done with treatment," he added.
