Punish KDF soldiers behind barbaric Likoni rampage

For KDF officers to punish an entire community over the killing of one person is not only misguided, but also foolhardy. [Standard]

The gruesome killing of a KDF soldier and the torching of his body in Mtongwe, Mombasa County, early this week shocked the military and the general public as well. The killers must be brought to book as quickly as possible.

However, Corporal David Mwangi’s killing, heart-wrenching as it was, does not justify the brutal reaction of his colleagues, who terrorised Mtongwe residents for hours on Tuesday night.
