Locals lynch suspected serial rapist in Naivasha

Residents lynched a suspected serial rapist yesterday in Naivasha after he defiled a granny in a maize plantation. His accomplice escaped during the incident in Moi Ndabi village.

According to the residents, the suspect had sexually abused over ten women and minors in the area before he was cornered.

A witness, Simon Kihara, said the suspect was waylaying his victims in maize plantations either in the morning or late in the evening. Kihara said the latest victim managed to raise the alarm.

Naivasha Assistant Commissioner John Opondo confirmed the incident, adding the suspect was also wanted in neighbouring Narok County over similar incidents.
