Three suspected witches were forced to run for their dear lives after they were caught exhuming a dead person at Rianchore on Wednesday.
Witnesses said the family of the deceased, Abel Omweri, laid a trap on the witches after the burial.
“We buried Omweri on Wednesday after he died mysteriously last week Tuesday. We laid a trap since the death was mysterious," said Charles Omayio.
Omayio said at 11 pm, three people were spotted at the grave yard by residents who were in vigil.
“Ten armed youths were hired to guard the grave overnight. Three naked people showed up ready to exhume the body.
"The armed youths chased them but they escaped into darkness after electricity lights went off for 5 minutes,” he noted.
Area chief Boniface Okemwa said witchcraft is on the rise in the village.
He warned residents against witchcraft saying whoever who will be nabbed will carry his own cross.
According to the chief the witches didn’t manage to exhume the body because the youths who had been hired to guard the grave yard were on high alert.
