A man in Homa Bay town was rescued from certain death by an angry mob after he was caught with a student in a brothel.
The form one student who was from half-term break and on her way back to school was in her school uniform, during the Monday evening ordeal.
A motorbike transport operator in the town who had carried the girl got suspicious on realizing that instead of going back to school, she had traveled to meet the man.
The nature of the relationship came to light when the boda boda operator followed the two and saw them enter a lodging.
He then alerted police who were guarding a bank in the area and one of them immediately reported the matter to his colleagues.
What they though would be a fun rendezvous turned into a sticky affair for the two lovers, who got out of the brothel to find an angry crowd waiting.
The irate mob descended on the man, brutally beating him before the police rescued him and took him away in the police van.
According to The Nation, the girl's mother who was alerted and went to the scene broke down on seeing her child with the older man.
The suspected pedophile remains in police custody waiting to be charged in court.
