Murder suspect killed by angry mob

Furious residents beat to death a suspect accused of stealing a motorbike from a boda boda operator and later murdering him in Kimicha village, Mwea, Kirinyaga County.

The suspect is alleged to have stolen the motorbike and killed the boda boda operator last week in Kutus.

Locals claim that the assailant hails from Nyandarua but has rented a house in Embu where he goes into hiding every time he commits a crime.

According to the assistant chief of the area, Jeremiah Muriithi, the suspect was tracked using a mobile phone.

One religious leader from the area, Anthony Gathu, tried to rescue the deceased while being beaten by the mob but his efforts proved futile.
