Land Dispute: Man Lynched Over Brother's Death

Two brothers have been killed at Nyahururu village in Nyamira county. Sources have it that the victims relatives could be involved with the deaths. The police are still looking for the mother and brother who have since gone missing.

One of the siblings was killed a week ago by unknown people, while the other was lynched on Tuesday by a mob in what seemed like a revenge attack.

"We don't know the whereabouts of the mother of the slain victims because she is also being sought by the gang," said Jane Moikoyo, a neighbour.

"They chased the widow away now, now they have been plotting to sell the land, but there were divisions among themselves and that's why they are killing each other," said a relative.

Nyamira county police commander Titus Ndung'u said Dennis Orechi, the second victim, had been in police custody since his brother's death but was later released. Unfortunately, he was killed by a mob.

This was a double tragedy for the family. The brothers are yet to be buried.
