A middle-aged man believed to be part of a gang that terrorizes residents of Stoo Makaa in Bahati, Nakuru County, was burned to death.

According to locals, the man is one of a group of thugs who escaped an operation led by motorcycle taxi operators to remove members of the 'Confirmed' gang, which has been linked to several thefts in the area.

Bahati Police Commander Mwangi Ng'ang'a said they met with taxi drivers and asked them to help identify criminals disguised as motorbike riders.
