Kenyans were treated to a weird spectacle on Wednesday morning on discovering a woman who was murdered in cold blood with her three daughters being raped in Litein.
The following day one of the victims turned up at the victim’s house and confessed that he participated in the heinous act before the mob lynched him.
Details about the lynched man later came to the fore.
The man was a Maseno University graduate and a relative to the victims.
As he made the confessions, the scandalised villagers wondered why a graduate would kill her aunt and rape her cousins.
According to Bernard Boit a neighbour who witnessed the happening, Sylvester Langat,24, showed up at the home at 6am. He added that Langat confessed to the murder and rape after hours of interrogation.
The Maseno University School of Education class of 2018 graduate was then lynched by a mob.
The villagers said the deceased did not have any known issues with the family before that could have led the young man to commit such a strange act to his relatives.
Residents still wonder if the man was in his right mind when he made a decision to lead the gang to his relative’s home and worse still participate in the crime.
“The suspect allegedly confessed to the crime. Unfortunately, by the time police officers arrived at the scene, they had lynched him,” he said.
