A village in Igandene, South Imenti in Meru County has buried an 18-year-old girl whose death led to the killing of her grandmother by an angry mob.

Gladys Muthoni alias Joana Urelia, 80, was lynched moments after allegedly bragging to villagers how she ended the life of her 18-year-old grandchild, Jackline Rima.
