A middle-aged man in Githunguri, Kiambu County, was Tuesday evening beaten by members of the public after he attempted to rape a woman.
Peter Kariuki, 38, was rescued from the irate mob by police officers from the nearby Ngewa station.
According to DCI, the victim, who was heading home from Kiamako market managed to wrestle with Kariuki and finally overpowered him.
“In a matter of minutes before standby police officers from Ngewa station could arrive at the scene, Kariuki’s body had been turned into a punching bag, with responders serving him an overdose of mighty blows and hot slaps to instil some manners,” DCI added.
The suspect was apprehended by the officers and taken to Ngewa Health Centre where he was treated and discharged. He is currently being held at Ngewa Police Station.
