An angry mob on Wednesday afternoon stormed Gachocho police station in Murang'a, and overwhelmed police before breaking into the cells.
According to reports, the mob descended on the police station after learning that a murder suspect accused of killing his brother on Tuesday night had been locked up there.
For the better part of Wednesday morning, a mob of women, men, and children engaged police in running battles, demanding that the suspect be released to them.
Police officers deployed to contain the mob lobbed tear gas and used rubber bullets, but tear gas ran out after a long running battle.
The mob eventually overpowered the police, pelting their landcruisers with stones before breaking into the cells and fishing out the suspect before beating him to death.
The suspect who was beaten to death is said to have plotted with his other brother to murder their sibling.
