Muriungi had picked up a quarrel with the accused over fish on September 30, 2022. It was gathered that the deceased approached Mwiti who was selling fish and wanted to buy but did not have money.
After a quarrel ensued between them over the fishes he was touching, Muriungi vowed not to pay and even dismissed well-wishers who offered to pay on his behalf.
