A robbery with violence suspect is cooling his heels at a police cell after a robbery mission at a house in Shauri Moyo area of Nairobi backfired.

Ian Otieno, 25, and his three accomplices had gained entry to the house of a family within Jua Kali area at 10pm last night,

ordering the victims to cooperate and lie down lest they suffered dire consequences.

The four-man gang robbed the family of three mobile phones, before unmounting a 43 inch Hisense TV as they ransacked the house for more valuables.

The gang's robbery adventure was however cut

As he scampered to escape the wrath of a thronging mob, Otieno had brandished a dagger with which he inflicted a cut on the neighbour's head, perhaps for spoiling

Five teenagers have been arrested in connection to the series of robberies that have hit the affluent Nyali suburb, in the coastal city of Mombasa. Detectives rounded up the gang after saving one of the gang members from a rowdy mob that almost lynched him.

The Mtwapa based crime busters came to the rescue of 19 year old Bakari Juma Saidi alias Abu, who locals had linked to several robberies in Kadzandani area. Bakari was rescued from the jaws of the angry mob, that had already administered instant justice to the suspect,

leaving him with life threatening injuries. As the sleuths rushed him to hospital for treatment, they obtained crucial leads that later led them to the suspect’s accomplices, in Kiembeni Bobo area where more arrests were made.

Yesterday, we reported how John Muthoni, a driver with the 2NK Sacco, courageously drove to Sagana Police Station upon realising that the high school students he was carrying were smoking bhang and drinking alcohol.

Muthoni was transporting students from Nyeri to Nairobi for their mid-term break. After failing to contain the rowdy and highly intoxicated students, the driver resorted to driving them to the nearby police station.

Sadly, the 14 students (seven boys and seven girls) jumped from the windows of the moving matatu before Muthoni could reach the report desk. In his own Facebook account, Muthoni has reported that he was sacked for his act of bravely.

A fight between three brothers on Wednesday night, turned tragic after one of them killed their mother who had tried to prevail upon them to stop fighting. Makomere Shikokongo, 35, John Omoro, 25 and Joseph Amakobe, 40, had turned their mother’s compound in Ibokolo,

Kakamega county into a battlefield, where they physically went for each other’s throats over an unknown issue. When things got out of hand after an exchange of punches and kicks, their concerned mother intervened in a bid to separate them.

But one of her sons who did not take her actions kindly, kicked her sending her on the ground a few metres away and continued facing off with his brothers. All this happened as their 63-year-old father Paul Shikokongo, was away from home.
