Residents Break Into Police Station, Drag out Suspect & Stone Him to Death. According to Witnesses who spoke to the media, the suspect was earlier arrested and taken to Githabai Police Station after stealing a cow.
The Rowdy residents of Kinangop however, were not satisfied with the police action, that’s when they stormed the police station and demanded that the police hand over the suspect to them.
One Resident lamented,” Cattle thieves have been affecting us but it seems his 40th day has arrived. He was found with a cow he stole yesterday and its owner also confirmed,”
“He was arrested and brought to the police station where he was placed in custody. Some irate residents demanded the suspect be handed to them but the police refused,”
“That was when the residents took matters into their own hands and broke into the police station, took the suspect out, and beat him to death,” the resident added.
Reportedly, the suspect had already expanded his gang of thieves who had caused havoc in the neighborhood.
According to Farmers, over 300 heads of cattle had been stolen since December last year.
