Furious residents of Kibingoti area of Ndia in Kirinyaga County have lynched and buried a 28-year-old man who came back to try and kill his brother after hacking his mother to death on Thursday and fleeing.
However, the suspect identified as Moses Gitau, was ambushed by neighbour's who burnt him to death before he accomplished his second mission. They then buried him.
On Saturday morning, police officers exhumed the body of suspect and took it to the Kerugoya hospital morgue.
The residents said the suspect fled after killing his mother on Thursday night.
According to them, relatives said they were living in fear since the suspect killed their 58-year-old mother Tabitha Muringo Mwai before showing up at home on Wednesday evening, so it was important to lynch him.
One resident said, “Huyo mama tumemjua kwa muda mrefu, alikuwa na bidii kujifanyia kazi na kulea watoto wake.”
“Alikuwa anataka kuua ndugu yake…alikuwa anamnyonga, huyo ndugu yake akapata nguvu akapiga nduri watu wakakuja wakamsaidia,” another resident added.
