A Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier was on Saturday night lynched by a mob in Utawala, Nairobi after a woman and her fiancé falsely accused him of being a thief. “When the couple was overpowered, they raised the alarm, claiming they had been attacked by robbers. As a result, a mob of six men came to the couple’s rescue and beat up the sergeant to death. His (KDF officer’s) brother escaped (death) by a whisker,” added the DCI. Police have since arrested five people in connection with the KDF officer’s death.
