A 65 year old man died suddenly after he met and vehemently disagreed with a popular witch doctor from the great county of Kitui.
According to a source familiar with the events, the man’s appointment with the Kitui witch doctor turned tragic and he almost killed him at his place of work.
As a result of the altercation between the two, a rowdy mob was attracted to the scene of the war in a bid to save their veteran witch doctor from the fire breathing man.
The 65 year old Muthui Mwenga had gone to consult the traditional ‘medicine man’ in Kitui county’s Mwingi East, before an argument arose over an unspecified issue.
“Neighbours in the Mathuki area reported hearing the wails and screams of the well known 80-year-old witch doctor, who has over the years earned himself a good reputation in Mathuki, for his trade. They immediately rushed to his rescue in their numbers.” Reported the source.
“On arrival, they found him writhing in pain after being attacked on the head by the client turned assailant. The angry residents descended on the client with all manner of projectiles, killing him on the spot.” Added the source.
On their side, the police officers arrived at the scene later and urged members of the public to report such cases instead of taking the law into their own hands.
“We caution members of the public to refrain from taking the law into their own hands and endeavour to report crimes to police for action.”
In another mysterious story reported by Sonko News, witches from the county of Kisii last week at night exhumed the body of a dead kid before dumping the empty coffin near a river.
