Two thieves received serious beating at the hands of a very angry mob who gathered to teach them a lesson after they had tried to scam a businessman.
The Kenyan women identified as Wincate Mukami and Faith Wangui, had reportedly been moving around town scamming unsuspecting people under the guise of selling SIM cards.
They drew the attention of other passersby who rushed to the scene when a businessman screamed, as he found out they had tried to scam him of KSh17,000 (N52,000), in the Embu town of Kenya.
According to the Embu Deputy Police boss Ziro Arome, the crowd’s punishment would have taken a turn for the worst if the police did not intervene when they did.
He said: “Had the police not arrived on time, maybe they would have been harmed more. They had visited a businessman’s shop and tricked him to give them the money promising to demonstrate something. They have been conning people under the guise of selling SIM cards.”
The police returned their clothes to the women who were already stripped while they were beaten, allowing them cover their shame.
What a disgrace for them
