The killings took place a few meters from the Wamuthambi River that divides Nyeri East and Kirinyaga West where villagers have killed at least 14 suspected Mungiki members who they accuse of extorting money from households, traders and matatu operators.
Distressed villagers could only watch in horror as Central Provincial Commissioner Japhter Rugut and the entire security team inspected the bodies that were later transferred to Karatina Hospital Mortuary.
The attack is the worst incident to have occurred in the area in the recent past in Mungiki related killings.
The outlawed sect is notorious for extorting money from matatu crew, collecting protection fees, kidnapping and murder.
This is really sad. Our condolences go out to the families who lost their loved ones.
