A 25-year-old man is nursing injuries after he was attacked by an irate mob at a fast food restaurant Chicken Inn, Kitengela for brutally killing a 22-year-old lady over an alleged romantic entanglement.
The deceased is reportedly said to have rejected the man, after which the latter stabbed her to death.
According to witnesses, the man who was not on duty stormed the restaurant on Friday night at around 8:30 pm and stabbed the woman multiple times with a knife.
A mob that gathered at the scene attacked the man before police arrived to save his life.
The suspect, who sustained major injuries from the mob justice, was rescued by police who rushed him to Kitengela Sub County hospital.
Kajiando County Police Commander Muthuri Mwongera confirmed the Friday night incident, which occurred inside a restaurant, saying the suspect who is a colleague of the deceased, left work early and later came back before committing the act.
Mwongera says the suspect is recuperating in a Kitangela hospital under police watch awaiting his arraignment on Monday.
The body of the deceased has since been taken to Shalom Hospital Mortuary as investigations into the case are underway.
