Boy hands are chopped off in suspected
thievery

A teenage boy has  his hands caught of and almost lost
his life too at the hands of four men who accused him
of stealing a medicinal plant.
Nairobi news reports that the 17-year-old boy, who
hails from Mporoko village in Kenya was attacked by
three men in the same village saying the boy has
stolen ‘miraa’ (medicinal flowering plant).

He sustained a deep cut on his head while both hands
were chopped off at the wrist during the attack and is
currently recuperating at Meru Teaching and Referral
Hospital, Kenya.
Speaking to Nairobi News from his hospital bed, the
victim said he identified the assailants who included
two young men, their father and grandfather.
“I was walking home on a path next to their farm when
one of the men called me. Because I knew them, I
went where they were. They started accusing me of
being a miraa thief. While I was defending myself, one
of them jumped and cut me on the head,” he narrated.

He went on to add that the father of the two men tied
my hands and placed them on a post and the others
chopped off his hands.
The attackers stripped the boy naked and left him for
dead in the middle of the nearby road. They knew the
boy would not be able to go home since it is a taboo
in the village for a circumcised man to walk naked.
“I hid myself in the bush until around 12am when I
walked home. I reached home at around 2am,” the
miracle survivor said.
The victim’s lawyer Kirimi Mbogo said three suspects
identified as Kirema M’Itirikia, M’Itirikia Itirikia and
Stanley Kibundu are in police custody while others are
being sought by police.
He has pledged to get justice for the underage victim
of the senseless act.
