Silas died on Wednesday, February 4, while receiving treatment at the Kakamega County Referral Hospital.
It is reported that the football player died from head injuries he sustained during a dispute with his younger brother at home on Tuesday evening, February 3.
His grieving parents, filled with grief and disbelief, recounted the tragic events that led to Silas’ attack.
What happened to Silas Abungana?
Silas’ father, Chiroi Abungana, shared that he never thought a small family disagreement could lead to death. He explained that Silas’ lover had gone to his brother-in-law, Denmark Muchiti, seeking help, but was refused.
“The young woman went to the kitchen and found her brother-in-law. She asked for a stove (a traditional cooking stove). They refused, saying she already had a gas stove. She returned home and told Silas that they had denied her a stove,” he explained.
Enraged by the incident, Silas retaliated by cutting off the electricity to his younger brother’s house, leaving him in the dark.
How did the Kakamega Homeboyz player die?
Furious, Muchiti took matters into his own hands. He took a club and struck Silas, causing him to fall to the ground, bleeding. The 21-year-old man then fled the scene after realizing the gravity of his actions.
The police have launched a search for him as the main suspect in Silas’ death. An investigation into the matter is ongoing.
“My sons loved each other. There are three of them, and Silas was the eldest. He always took care of his siblings and us,” said Beatrice Khasiala, their mother.
Chiroi further claimed that the negligence of doctors at the hospital contributed to his son’s death.
“The doctors didn’t do much. They just gave him a drip and kept sending us to bring various things, which we did, but they were placed by his bed. The staff kept sending us from one person to another,” he said.
The player’s body is currently at the Kakamega County Referral Hospital mortuary.
Fans mourn the Kakamega Homeboyz player
Tributes have poured in from all corners, with many mourning the loss of the football star and his great contribution to the team.
Colins Lumumba, a fan, noted that the team had lost a good player, adding that his death left them in a state of shock and confusion.
The chairman of the football club, Cleophas Toto, praised the skills of the late player on the field, describing his death as a great loss for the whole team.
“During the last game we played against Mara Sugar, he was in the team and he did very well. The team and the whole country have lost a good football player. He had even received a call to join Harambee Stars,” said Toto.
