In a bizarre turn of events, a man suspected of a string of brutal murders in Gem Yala sub-county, Siaya County, was apprehended by police and later lynched by angry residents.
The 40-year-old suspect was arrested on the night of August 6 in the Kibos area of Kisumu County, following a tip-off from locals.
He is believed to be responsible for a series of killings that primarily targeted women and schoolgirls across Gem Yala.
After he was taken to the Yala Police Station on Thursday morning, an angry crowd gathered and demanded that the police hand over the suspect.
