Former nominated MCA Carren Atieno Muga has been arrested after being linked to the chaos that saw a suspect lynched by an angry mob that stormed a police station in Chemase, Nandi County.
On January 3, an irate mob stormed Chemase Police Station in Nandi and flushed out a murder suspect before stoning, beheading him and setting his body on fire.
The mob then went back to the police station, overpowered the police officers, vandalised the station and set it on fire.
Days after the incident, the former nominated MCA Atieno Muga, was arrested along the Chemelil-Miwani-Kisumu road, with police linking her to an organ-harvesting scheme.
The former MCA is believed to be the mother of one of the prime suspects in the gruesome murder of Enock Kipsang.
According to authorities, the former MCA was attempting to flee out of fear of being lynched by irate members of the public. Her vehicle, a Toyota Harrier, was also seized as an exhibit.
Kipsang, 38, was killed and his body dismembered, with his remains being discovered on the roadside. His head was discovered in a borehole, while his private parts were chopped off.
The incident spread fast across Tinderet constituency, with over 3000 angry locals assembling at the Chemase Police Post.
Before Victor Kimtai was lynched by the irate mob, he had blown the cover on the organ-harvesting syndicate and threatened to kill his family members.
