Two girlfriends of slain Mombasa gangster Mohammad 'Bobocha' aka Shmurda Bob have taken to social media to express their plans to avenge the death of their lover.
Bob, who was a wanted gangster and part of a criminal gang that terrorised residents of Mombasa, was killed by a mob after allegedly robbing a man in the coastal town.
Residents claimed he had stabbed and robbed an old man before taking off and was chased towards the ocean where he was cornered and lynched.
Two women; Princess Qween Shmurda and Asma Awil Ahmed, who are believed to have been lovers of the deceased have been posting cryptic content on their Facebook pages saying Bob was a nice man and did not deserve to die.

Cases of spouses engaging in crime together have been on the rise in recent times.
Slain female gangster Clare Adi Vybz was shot dead along Kangundo Road in Nairobi and was believed to be the girlfriend of wanted thug Mwanii.
Last month, a thug and his girlfriend were shot dead in Soweto slums after resisting arrest and firing at police.
Police believe women are being used to ferry guns and other crude weapons used in crime as they can easily bypass security checks.
