A teacher in Kericho yesterday gave a police officer a taste of his own medicine after he viciously clobbered the police officer before setting out on foot.
The teacher was part of a group of teachers that was demonstrating on Tuesday morning over alleged delayed investigation into the murder of a teacher and his wife in Chesingoro, Kericho County.
Mr Willy Sang, 50, was murdered alongside his wife Everline, 42, at their home in July.
The teacher ran after the police officer who was chasing other demonstarting teachers away and hit him with what seem to be a huge stick better known as “Rungu”
The teacher then rans away for his dear life as the police continue to lob teargas into the air.

During the demonstration, the teachers accused police of failing to deliver justice for their colleague and his wife.
Acting Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers National Chairman Julius Korir and Kericho branch Secretary Julius Mibei led the teachers and residents in camping outside the home of the slain couple before proceeding to Litein town, where they held demonstrations.
“We are giving the police 24 hours to arrest the main suspects in the murder of Mr and Mrs Sang. If not, let Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i transfer the security team in Kericho and send another,” said Mr Korir.
The badly mutilated bodies of Mr Sang, a teacher at Cheborgei High School, and his wife, were found in a pool of blood in their bedroom on July 21.
The main suspects are family friends, a wife of a bishop and their children, who were being hosted by the family.
Mr Mibei contemplated why other high profile murder cases were being taken seriously while their case was clearly being treated without the urgency it required.
“We want justice for his children, teachers and the people of Chesingoro. The DCI and county commissioner should up their game or go home,” said Mr Mibei.
A number of Kenyans online seem to have welcomed the teacher’s move to clobber the police for allegedly sleeping at work.
Here are some of the reactions:
