A man from Langas Eldoret escaped death with a whisker after police stopped an angry mob from lynching him after the people neighbouring him discovered he had killed his wife. According to a report on the standard, the man had had hired street urchins to help him help the body from the estate. According to the street urchins, they knew they knew that they were carrying a carcass of a stray pig but were later caught by surprise when they realized it was a human body and immediately raised alarm.

An angry mob quickly went for the man but before they put severe injuries on him the police arrived and rushed him to Moi Teaching and referral Hospital for treatment under heavy security.

According to the police the man had murdered his wife and put her in a sack in order to dump her. After an interview with the standard the man denied killing his wife claiming that he found her dead in the bedroom and that he wouldn’t kill her since he had lived in peace for years.

“I found her in the bedroom. I did not kill her because we have been living in peace for years with our three children. When I informed the landlord, she called the neighbrs who started beating me,” said the man from his hospital bed.

A neighbor however denied what the suspect claimed to be true, saying that she had spoken to the victim that very afternoon and she was in good health.

Eldoret Officer in Charge of Police Department (OCPD) Isa Manja also said that residents said they had intercepted him in the act of ferrying the body to an unknown destination.
