Form Three Student Stoned to Death in Kariobangi Botched Robbery

A Form three student from a local school in Kariobangi has been confirmed dead after a botched robbery incident.

According to detectives, the form three student was in the company of two other men who were snatching valuables from pedestrians in the area.

An alarm was then raised and a mob quickly descended on the culprits. The other two men managed to escape while the form three student was cornered and stoned to death.

When police arrived at the scene, the boy was already dead hence a standoff between police and the locals. For instance, the mob demanded to have the boy buried immediately in accordance with the Muslim tradition while the police wanted to process the scene to aid in the investigations.
