A suspected thief was beaten to death and later set ablaze on Monday in Nyakoiba village Kenyenya district Kisii County.
Confirming the incident on Monday Kisii county police commander Agnes Mudambi said Zachary Nyambane was found stealing a sack of maize from his neighbour and was beaten to death.
“A 30-year-old man was lynched to death after allegedly stealing maize from his neighbour on Monday at Nyakoiba village,” said Mudambi.
Agnes Mudambi urged residents not to take the law into their hands and advised them once they found somebody in a mistake they should report to the nearby police station for action to be taken instead of breaking the law.
“We have police stations to settle any crime no need to take law into your own hands let people report to a police station for immediate action to be taken against any culprit ” added Mudambi.
