Two suspected robbers died on the spot at Tiwi Sokoni in Kwale County on Wednesday evening when their getaway motorbike crashed into a school bus.
Hassan Godana, the Matuga police boss, stated that the two had stolen a phone from an M-Pesa shop.
“They got on the motorcycle and sped off when locals started chasing after them. They then rode into the highway without checking whether there was an oncoming vehicle and immediately got hit by the bus,” he said.
They died on the spot after colliding with a Shimoni Secondary School bus. The bus was leaving Msambweni for Likoni.
Nobody on the bus was hurt.
The two are yet to be identified by police. The bodies were moved to the Kwale Hospital mortuary.
“We have no action to take now because the suspects are dead,” Mr Godana said.
The incident has left locals in a dilemma – whether to mourn the two men or leave them to fate.
