A suspected thief was on Thursday lynched by irate residents at Rianyanchabera village, in Kenyenya, Kisii County.

The 25-year-old man was suspected of stealing valuables and cattle from residents.

The suspect, identified as Kibeni, is said to have returned home three days ago from his hideout in Trans Mara after he stole his neighbour’s two goats, maize and beans.

“Kibeni has been giving us sleepless nights because he has been leading criminal gangs in breaking into houses to steal. We could not leave him to continue staying with us in the village after he returned home,” said Samson Nyachoti, a resident.

Nyachoti said angry residents teamed up and the bought petrol which they used to lynch the suspect.

He further noted that residents have launched a manhunt for his accomplices who are still at large.

Area police boss Isaac Thuranira condemned the incident, saying residents should have surrendered the suspect to police for legal action to be taken against him.

"It is unlawful to kill someone because we are protected by the law. I wish to condemn the decision by the locals to lynch the suspect instead they could have surrendered him to police,” he said.

He warned that residents who will be found lynching crime suspects will be arrested and be charged in court with murder. 

The police boss further warned youths against engaging in crime saying the law will catch up with them.

The suspect's body was taken to the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital mortuary.
