By RUSHDIE OUDIAMore by this AuthorA 34-year-old man escaped lynching in Kisumu on Thursday evening after a mob attacked him on accusation of defiling his two step-daughters. Villagers accused the man of repeatedly sexually abusing the girls aged 4 and 10. The villagers, who soon milled around the house, pounced on the girls’ mother with kicks and blows before they took her to the office of the assistant chief alongside the children. Kondele police boss Boniface Mutie said officers are only holding the suspect, but the mother of the girls is being treated as the complainant.
