By PIUS MAUNDUMore by this AuthorResidents of Mwana Village in Makueni County on Tuesday night lynched a woman they alleged was behind a wave of hysterical behaviour that affected pupils in the area. The attackers accused 65-year old Grace Mwanza of bewitching pupils of Mwende Primary School and causing them to start behaving hysterically. "Members of the public went to her home, beat her up and set her on fire," Mbooni East OCPD Peter Njeru told the Nation by phone. According to John Munovi, the school deputy headmaster, one of the pupils who was behaving hysterically named the woman, prompting the public to go to her home. He said three of the four affected pupils dropped out of school this year.
