Parents at Cheptebo Primary School in Uasin Gishu resorted to instant “justice”, by flogging a teacher who has allegedly been defiling his pupils.
Willy Kiprop is said to have sexually assaulted three minors in maize plantations in the area, and threatened them of unspecified dire action if they dared to disclose the information to their parents.
One of the victims informed her parent of the ordeal, prompting the enraged parents to administer “instant justice” on the suspect.
When confronted to explain why he committed the crime, Kiprop said, “Ni kuchemka kwa damu, na pia ni kuingiliwa na shetani.”
The suspect was handed over to police officers from Chepkoilel and will be arraigned in court after investigations.
