Two of the relatives were also injured in the clash caused by a domestic fight, police said.

The body had multiple injuries in the head and was taken to the local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Police suspect the deceased was attacked out of revenge. The matter is under probe, police said adding they were waiting for the injured relatives to recover from the injuries before they are grilled as part of the probe into the murder.
Elsewhere in Gatina area, Nairobi, a Rwandan woman was found dead in her house after suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.
The woman identified as Arlene Mukashyaka, 31 was found on a seat long after the incident had happened.
Her Kenyan husband was away at the time of the incident. Police said left overs of food was found on the table and cooked beans on a charcoal jiko.
It is suspected she died out of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is regarded as a silent killer.
A burning jiko emits carbon monoxide, which is deadly. Carbon monoxide poisoning is more likely to occur when people are asleep.
The team also wants to establish if the officer died from carbon monoxide poisoning or it was set there.
Carbon monoxide poisoning, always referred to as ‘the silent killer’ , happens when the toxic odourless gases emitted from burning wood or charcoal mix with blood and affect oxygen circulation in the body.
When one breathes in carbon monoxide, it enters the blood, mixes with the red blood cells’ haemoglobin to form poisonous carboxyhaemoglobin that prevents blood from transporting oxygen.
Officials warn against the use of jiko in poorly ventilated places.
