A 30-year-old man is nursing serious injuries at Nyamache Sub County hospital after he as beaten by angry members of the public for allegedly seducing his neighbour's newly married wife.
The incident happened on Wednesday at Moseni village in Nyangoso, Kisii County.
It is alleged that the man Godfrey Obwocha has been seducing his neighbour's wife Dorothy Nyaboke who was married 3 months ago.
"Obwocha has been warned to stop chasing Dorothy for love in vain. He sneaked into the house where he forcibly kissed Nyaboke. Nyaboke tried to send him away from her house but, he insisted and stayed," said Nicholas Mong'iti, a Nyumba Kumi official.
Mong'iti noted that Nyaboke immediately raised alarm to attract members of the public who arrived at the house and found Obwocha comfortably seated at the sitting room.
"Men like Obwocha chasing people's wives for sex won't have room in the village. We beat him after Nyaboke revealed that he has been forcing himself on her despite that he knows she is married," said an angry resident Sylvanus Omboye.
Area assistant chief Benjamin Mokua said the Obwocha was rescued from the jaws of death and rushed to Nyamache hospital for treatment.
He warned the public against taking the law into their hands but instead surrender suspects to authorities.
Nyaboke's husband, Victor Onduso declined to comment on the matter on grounds that he was not at home when Obwocha was attacked by the public.
