On Tuesday, two robbery suspects were injured after their getaway vehicle lost control and crashed in Ndia, Kirinyaga county.
The incident took place at the Kwa Mwega-Baricho junction on the Sagana-Karatina highway.
According to Kirinyaga West Sub-County Police Commander Moses Koskei, the suspects were pursued by boda-boda riders when their vehicle lost control.
“The suspects disembarked from their vehicle and escaped on foot, with two of them seeking refuge in a school,” said Koskei.
A mob is said to have followed the two suspects into the school – where learning was ongoing – and beat them to a pulp.
According to the residents, the three suspects had robbed an M-Pesa shop around the area – and were escaping when their car lost control and rammed another vehicle.
Kiine location chief David Githinji said that one of the suspects was armed – and had escaped.
“Two suspect ran into a school and hid in the classes, but angry residents followed them inside the school,” said Chief Githinji.
