An elderly couple has been rendered fugitive after villagers torched their house in Uriri.
The couple was forced to seek refuge at Uriri Police Station on Thursday, after irate villagers attacked them over allegations of witchcraft, reports the Citizen Digital.
The villagers who said that they have been suspecting the 78-year-old man and his wife of being behind mysterious deaths in the area, lost their cool after a suspicious human body part was found inside their house.
This came after they brought in a ‘seer’ from the neighboring Tanzania who discovered a decomposing human hand in the house, resulting to anger among residents.
They are now blaming the couple for the many mysterious deaths and sicknesses that have been troubling residents around the area over the last few days.
The angry villagers warned that they will lynch the couple should they step back into the village, and went ahead to set the 3 houses in their homestead ablaze.
Property whose value remains unknown also went up in flames during the rampage.
