A young boy who was caught stealing a medicinal plant has been made to go through a most devastating experience.
The teenage boy had his hands chopped off with machetes after being accused of stealing miraa (medicinal flowering plant )
According to Nairobi News, the 17-year-old victim, who hails from
Mporoko village, was attacked by seven men while coming from a nearby
shop. 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. One of them said they
should not let me go without chopping off my hands. Their father tied
my hands and placed them on a post. That is when their grandfather cut
one of my hands and asked his grandsons to chop them off," he said.
The attackers stripped the boy naked and left him for dead in the
middle of the nearby road so that he could not walk home, since it is a
taboo 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 victim’s lawyer Kirimi Mbogo said three suspects identified as
Kirema M’Itirikia, M’Itirikia Itirikia and Stanley Kibundu are in police
custody while four others are being sought by police.
"This is a very inhuman act and the suspects must be brought to
book. As the family lawyer, we I will leave no stone unturned until
justice is done for the family," Mr Mbogo said.
