2-year-old boy hospitalised after severe beating by his biological father in Homa Bay.
A two-and-a-half-year-old boy is recovering from serious injuries at the Homa Bay County Referral Hospital after allegedly being assaulted by his biological father.
The incident occurred shortly after a domestic dispute between the father and the child’s mother, a Form Four student at Pap Ndege Secondary School in Homa Bay Town Constituency.
The boy sustained multiple injuries during the attack, prompting neighbors to intervene.
His grandmother, Majuma Yago Agunga, rushed him to the hospital, where he is currently receiving medical care.
Medical staff at the facility, led by Homa Bay Referral Chief Executive Officer Dr. Vincent Oduor, have confirmed that the child’s condition is stable but remains under close observation.

Dr. Oduor said they have launched an investigation into the incident, with children’s rights advocates and local leaders calling for swift justice and stronger protection for vulnerable minors.
He condemned the act and urged parents and guardians to resolve domestic disputes without involving or harming innocent children.
The doctor also appealed to the public to speak out against child abuse within their communities.
The suspect remains at large, and police are pursuing leads to apprehend him. Meanwhile, the child’s mother is receiving counselling and support from local community welfare groups.
