One man lost his life as another escape with injuries after being beaten by an angry mob on Saturday, Kithyumuoni area, Kangundo sub-county, Machakos county.
The incident was confirmed by area Assistant chief Alex Musembi who said that the two men were chased by residents from Kitwii up to Kithumuoni where they were caught and given a dogs beating.
One of the suspect was able to escape with injuries as the crowd unleashed their anger on the other one until he gave up the ghost.
Musembi said that the two men are suspected of being behind the Wednesday attack that left Kangundo Knut treasurer dead and another man seriously injured.
"The two suspects were cornered by the residents who had no mercy on them," said Alex.
However, Kangundo OCPD Simon Rotich refused to comment on whether the suspect murdered could be behind the attack on Wednesday until investigations are over.
The body of the man was taken by the police to Kangundo level four hospital mortuary.
