Former MCA Taken Into Custody Following Her Son’s Assault on Police Station, Resulting in the Beheading of a Suspect and Mutilation of Remains

Former nominated MCA Carren Atieno Muga was arrested on Saturday in connection with the chaos that led to the lynching of a suspect by an angry mob at a police station in Chemase, Nandi County.

On January 3, a mob stormed Chemase Police Station, forcibly removing a murder suspect, before stoning, decapitating, and setting his body on fire. In an unusual turn of events, the mob returned to the station, damaged it, and set it ablaze, leaving three police officers injured.

Days after the incident, Atieno Muga was apprehended along the Chemelil-Miwani-Kisumu road, with police associating her with an alleged organ-harvesting syndicate. The former MCA is believed to be the mother of one of the main suspects in the brutal murder of Enock Kipsang. Authorities stated that Muga was attempting to flee out of fear of being attacked by an angry mob. Her Toyota Harrier vehicle was seized as evidence.

Kipsang, 38, was killed, and his body was dismembered, with his remains found on the roadside. His head was discovered in a borehole, and his private parts were removed. The incident quickly spread throughout Tinderet constituency, with over 3,000 furious locals gathering at the Chemase Police Post, demanding justice.

Before Victor Kimtai was lynched by the mob, he had exposed the organ-harvesting syndicate and threatened to harm his family members. His mother alerted local officials, leading to Kimtai’s arrest.

Police also recovered the National and Kenya Police Service flags that were stolen from the police station during the mob’s attack. “We are closing in on the other primary suspects in this case, with further arrests expected,” a statement from the National Police Service (NPS) said.

The incident prompted a meeting between Deputy Inspectors General Mr. Eliud Lagat (Kenya Police) and Mr. Gilbert Masengeli (Administration Police), who recently convened with senior NPS officers from all Nandi sub-counties to promote peaceful coexistence among the area’s residents.
