Mob beat serial killer to death in Kenya

Police say a mob in western Kenya has killed a self-confessed serial killer who escaped from custody two days ago.

Masten Wanjala was traced by villagers to a house in Bungoma town and beaten to death.

Authorities had launched a massive manhunt for the fugitive who admitted to killing more than 10 young boys during a five-year period.

He also confessed to drugging them and in some cases drinking their blood.

Eyewitness account says he reportedly returned to the home of his parents – who have disowned him and was subsequently strangled by neighbours who found out he was there
