The forty-year-old Kariobangi businesswoman was allegedly attacked at her home by a gang of armed gangsters who tortured her for several hours.
The woman was later murdered and her body dumped at an abandoned house in the sprawling Kariobangi North estate.
Following the brutal murder, area residents took matters into their hands and descended upon an alleged murderer with all manner of crude weapons, beating him to a pulp.
They claimed the suspect was part of the gang that attacked the woman.
According to the woman’s relatives, unknown assailants recently attempted to attack her but their plans were foiled after her neighbours intervened.
The residents are now calling on the police to hunt down the killers who are still at large.
