Kenyan Man in Minnesota Charged with Attempted Murder after Attacking His Landlord with an Ax

Kenyan Man in Minnesota Charged with Attempted Murder after Attacking His Landlord with an Ax

A Kenyan man in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota has been charged with second degree attempted murder and second degree assault after attacking his landlord with an ax.

Samuel Omwunda Nyaboga, 45, was charged with the crimes on Thursday. According to the complaint, Samuel attacked his landlord on Tuesday at the apartment building located at 844 Kentucky Court North after the landlord initiated an eviction process for not paying rent.

A witness told police that Samuel hit the landlord with an ax on the head after she knocked on his door. She managed to run but Samuel chased after her and hit her again multiple times with the ax.

When police arrived at the scene, they found her laying on the ground in a pool of blood. She was rushed to a hospital where “she was diagnosed with a skull fracture, a subdural hematoma, and multiple lacerations to her face and scalp,” reports the Star Tribune.

She remains in critical condition at the hospital and her injuries are so severe that there is a possibility of her dying or having permanent brain damage, adds the Star Tribune.

Samuel is being held in the Hennepin County jail.

    This is so sad. Anyway: To Jail, Court, Mental Health Check, maybe Bail, to Court again, before Jury, Guilty, and then Life without Parole or even Death Sentence.

    @Guest1 can you imagine if Uhuru was hot tempered like this guy what he would have done to Raila?

  4. SmNov 10, 2017

  5. MugiNov 10, 2017

    It happens more in Kenya than in USA . The fact that it happens in USA is news but if you check what happens in Nyeki and Kisii land, this is nothing. This guy forgot he is in USA . In kenya the landlords employ goons to evict a tenant and get away with it. You will not get away with this one in USA

    Ile mahot temper ya wakisii itawaletea tabu mingi sana.

    SAD!:-)

  11. ImaraNov 10, 2017

    The American people have no clue about who the Gusii people are! What is reported by the USA media is that an African attacked an American. My fellow Kenyans, please don't taint the name of our continent!

  12. MaragANov 10, 2017

    I believe I heard that the person he attacked is a Kenyan American, Pamellah Onsongo.

  13. AnnonymusNov 11, 2017

    I thought the landlord was a Kissi as well??

  14. FeloNov 11, 2017

    Land lady was Kenyan too

  15. KenyaNov 10, 2017

    Very sad indeed. He will be in the death row. Hiyo hasira ya wakisii ni baya

  16. S.WNov 10, 2017

    Hmmmmm....if you don't like the terms of your rental agreement, simply move, break the lease, etc...but attempted murder?

  17. Moses KuriaNov 10, 2017

    We don't know the other side of the story - Don't rush to judgement.

  18. JnNov 13, 2017

    You are right:we need to hear the other side. Perhaps the landlady was armed with an M16 or an equally crude weapon. Heck, maybe the guy was just defending himself!

  19. victor samuelAug 2, 2020

    he is my dad and even though what he did was bad i still dont like people talking so much bad about him

  20. GuestNov 10, 2017

  25. Guest1Nov 10, 2017

    Mkenya MJerumani. This is a Very Sad Story. But let me say this: Sodomy is WORSE than Anger. Why? Because Sodomy is the ORIGINAL reason AIDS is killing Thousands if People Everyday.

  26. omeraNov 11, 2017

    How come the senseless tribalists are not coining the story to all Kisii charged with attempted murder?DNA is a must here.Huyu jamaa might be muuaji Raila's child.His face ni kama Raila kabisha.

  27. INNOCENTNov 12, 2017

    THIS MAN WAS SO SICK! DOING SOMETHING LIKE WHAT HE DID, HE WAS MENTALLY ILL OR PSYCHOTIC OR DEPRESSED BAD! USA CAN BE CHALLENGING BUT THIS IS NOT THE WAY OUT! REACHING A POINT WHERE HE COULDN'T PAY HIS RENT, HE WAS A SICK MAN! HOW CAN YOU LIVE IN SOMEONE'S HOUSE WITHOUT PAYING FOR SIX MONTHS! BUT SERIOUSLY PEOPLE ARE SICK OUT HERE AND WHEN YOU NOTICE SOMETHING YOU MAY THINK IS SO DIFFERENT WITH UA FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND, PLEASE ADVICE HIM/HER TO SEEK MEDICAL HELP! AM SURE THIS MAN MUST MISBEHAVED BEFORE, AND THAT COULD'VE RAISED EYE BLOWS AND BE ON MEDICATION! WE PRAY FOR PAMELA TO BE WELL AND WE THANK GOD THAT HE SPARED HER LIFE FROM THIS DEVIL!

  28. MkenyaNov 24, 2018

    I believe he needs help, if I’m not wrong he has separated from the wife. They also have 3 kids (2 boys na 1 girl) and the eldest son looks depressed.
