The victim was discovered with a bottle stuffed in his back side, much to the anger of the residents.
Locals called on the government to take swift action failure to which they would take the law unto their hands and confront the barbaric gang.
The town borders Mt Kenya forest which has served as a strategic hiding area for the criminals who hide their loot in the forest before transporting them to other towns.
“The government should immediately bring security officers in the area and possibly build a police station. Things are very bad here,” another resident complained.
