A suspected thief is reportedly fighting for his life after he was allegedly pounced on by a suspected mob in Kyaminyoku cell in Kasese Municipality.
No official comment yet from Police but Mr. Hamada Ngima, the area local council one Chairperson confirmed the incident against the yet to be identified man.
Mr. Hamada who later called in police for rescue, said it was hard for any spot arrest by the officers after the local residents seemed concentrating on their daily duties after badly beating the suspect who was then riding on a motorcycle. Mr. Hamada speaking…….
Some residents interviewed think that the suspect is one of a big gang that makes survey during day time and break into business premises at night, wondering why the suspect intended to takeoff at the locals wanted to know much about him. Residents speaking………
Mob justice is an illegalform of extra judicial punishment or retribution in which a person suspected of a crime or wrongdoing is typically humiliated, beaten, sometimes undressed usually by a crowd that does not considerany form of fair trial in which the accused is given a chance to defend him/herself.
