Five suspected Mungiki sect members were yesterday lynched by angry villagers in Maragwa District after they attacked four matatus (public service commuter vehicles).

Four-year-old school boy Frank Kiarie, who was injured during the dawn attack, died while receiving treatment in hospital.

Armed with stones, machetes, clubs and sticks, residents of Kagumoini beat them to death, one by one, and displayed their bodies at the local trading centre where they were picked by police.

The villagers claimed the five were members of the Mungiki sect and accused them of extorting money from matatus taking passengers to the nearby Kabati, Kagundu-ini and Thika towns.

The gang of seven, brandishing machetes and stones was terrorising passengers, drivers and conductors at 5am.

They were demanding Sh1,000 from every matatu to allow it to operate on the Kabati-Kagundu-ini road.

Smashed windscreens

Drivers and conductors who resisted were beaten and threatened with death and had their windscreens smashed.

A stone thrown by one of them hit the child who died while undergoing treatment at the Thika district hospital.
