Police said the mob shared the money that was stolen. A police officer was lynched on Wednesday after he and a colleague attacked and robbed a woman of the Sh490,000 she was taking to an M-Pesa shop. They said the dead officer's accomplice was rescued from the lynch mob by other officers who were on patrol. Police said the two were escaping from the scene of the robbery in Kibera slum, Nairobi, when they were cornered and the alarm raised. It is expected that he will be arraigned in court to face charges of robbery with violence.
