A 14-year-old boy is lucky to be alive after he was rescued by police officers from burning to death, after he was set ablaze by two of his brothers last evening, in Mandera county.
The class seven pupil at Kamor Primary School in Mandera, was lured to their house by his mischievous brothers Ibrahim Ahmed and Yusuf Ahmed, before being rolled up in a mattress doused in petrol and set on fire.
The pupil had been accused of being a witness in a case that his brother Ibrahim Ahmed, was accused of stealing a mobile phone. After setting him ablaze, the two brothers immediately went into hiding leaving their little brother for dead.
However, Police officers saw a fire coming from the house and rushed to the scene only to find the poor boy burning! They immediately rescued him and rushed him to Mandera County Referral Hospital, where he was admitted in serious condition.
As we pray for his speedy recovery, detectives are hot in pursuit of the two brothers.
