On the fateful day of the murder, Tidana macheted his two-years-old daughter to death, leaving her lifeless body lying in pool of blood. His son saw what their father did and decided to alert the wife, who was away at the time.

Upon her hearing the incident, the wife dashed home. She confronted the husband about the blood-curling murder. Irked, Tidana similarly struck his wife with the  same machete he had used to cut short his daughter’s life.

The son who witnessed the gory incident raised an alarm and he, likewise, suffered a machete cut but he managed to escape. He ran on to a football field and alerted the kids there. However, none of the kids dared to intervene as Tidana was still wielding his weapon.
