The OCS had gone to the area with two police officers and an informer in pursuit of suspects believed to have been involved in the death of the local area chief Japhet Majau who was killed Tuesday by an irate mob.
A team of detectives has been sent to the area to pursue the case and ringleaders of the incident.
The residents were angered after the chief’s brother, Gikware Mukengu, detained some goats belonging to a resident, Gitonga Kibuibe, who went missing in December 2018 and his skeleton found in the nearby River Thuci three weeks ago.
Three suspects have so far been arrested by detectives following the brutal killing of the Chief. The Chief had gone to settle a case when the suspects attacked him with pangas before setting his body on fire.
