Four suspects have been arrested over brutal murder of a national government administration officer in Mt Elgon, Bungoma County.
Last week on Friday, the body of the Chepyuk Location Chief, Geoffrey Kipsang, was found buried in a shallow grave in a maize plantation about three kilometers from his homestead.
The death of the 52-year-old instigated irate residents to storm a local illicit brew den, torching houses that they suspected harbored the killers.
It is believed that the four suspects, two men and two women, in police custody cooperated with others who police are still pursuing.
One suspect who allegedly lured the chief into his unfortunate fate was killed by the irate residents.
Confirming the arrest of the four suspects, Bungoma County Commissioner Samuel Kimiti said, “You cannot take law in your hands and kill a government official and expect to go scot free, I want to tell all those who were involved that they will be arrested and face the full wrath of the law.”
