In Kericho County on Thursday, a dramatic and shocking incident was reported after a senior government official, a chief, was allegedly killed by members of the public after he was found inside another man’s house during the late evening hours.
The incident has left many residents in shock and disbelief as investigations continue. According to reports, a man identified as Joseph Kemei arrived at his home in the evening and was welcomed normally by his wife. Everything seemed fine at first.
However, when he went into the bedroom to change his clothes, he began hearing unusual movements and commotion coming from under his bed. Curious and concerned, he knelt down to check what could be causing the noise.
To his shock, he allegedly found the chief hiding under the bed inside his house. He immediately ordered him to come out and explain his presence.
The situation quickly escalated when the homeowner raised an alarm, attracting attention from nearby residents. Within a few minutes, a group of locals gathered at the scene.
In the confusion and anger, the chief was allegedly attacked by the crowd, who accused him of being involved in inappropriate behavior with another man’s wife.
However, police later confirmed that several individuals believed to have taken part in the attack were arrested and taken into custody as investigations into the incident continue.
