A 23-year-old garbage collector who is reported to have nearly electrocuted a neighbour he accused of killing his dog was Wednesday charged before the Makadara Law Court with assault.
Wycliffe Phoro is accused of beating up and injuring Boniface Mwangi Njoki on January 21, 2020 in their neghbourhood in Mukuru kwa Njenga, Embakasi in Nairobi.
