A form three student was lynched in a botched robbery incident in the Kariobangi area, Nairobi.
The student is said to have been in the company of two others and was snatching valuables from pedestrians when an alarm was raised.
Police and witnesses say the other two managed to escape on foot while the student was cornered and stoned to death.

There was a standoff between police and some locals who opposed the picking up of the body of the student last night saying he was to be buried early this morning according to their religious tradition.
Police later allowed them to pick and keep the body for the burial event.
