Samuel Kairu told of the 30-minute terror that he witnessed from his hiding place as the bloodthirsty sect members mutilated his colleague at the local bus park.
He told Justice Michael Khamoni that he saw one of his childhood friends stab the deceased as other gang members clubbed and cut the unconscious man with swords.

The witness said the attack occurred at around 9.30 am when the sect members invaded the bus park in small groups, taking the conductor by surprise.
