He was said to have first macheted his one-year-old son to death before killing his elder brother’s three-year-old son.
The incidents, which occurred last Tuesday, have thrown the community into mourning.
An elder in the community, James Kaave Ortese, said Imobo was being detained at Vandeikya Police Station, adding that nobody suspected he would use his machete to kill since he was a palm wine tapper.
Ortese said: “He went into the bush, as usual, for his palm wine business, only to return home to cut his son into pieces. Thereafter, he attempted to kill his wife but she fled; he then killed his brother’s son after which he was overpowered and handed over to the Police.”
