A retired headteacher in Irate village of Magarini, Kilifi County is nursing injuries after he was on Thursday beaten up by irate villagers for stabbing a 13-year-old boy.
The teacher identified as Samuel Ngumbao Tsofa is said to have stabbed the minor for allegedly grazing their goats on his farm.
Police from Gongoni police station said that the 66 year-old used a panga to cut the neck of the minor as a punishment for grazing on his farm.
The attack comes a week after a parliamentary committee raised concern over the increasing number of underage children hired as herders in parts of Kilifi County.
