Mob Kills Murder Suspect
In a shocking turn of events, a man was lynched by a mob just moments after being accused of murdering his mother in a village in Samia, Busia County. The victim, identified as 89-year-old Rosalia Auma Obonyo, was found dead outside her home, prompting locals to quickly mobilize and hunt down her son, 69-year-old Ernest Mudivo.
Tragically, Mudivo met a violent end just a short distance from where his mother’s body lay, as police reported he was stoned to death. The exact motive behind the murder remains unclear, and both bodies have been taken to the mortuary for autopsies and further investigation.
