An enraged mob severely beat two men in Naivasha after being discovered engaging in public displays of affection.

The duo was part of the crowd at a local bar on Tuesday evening. As they drank, their behavior escalated to openly expressing affection for each other, eliciting astonishment from the onlookers.

Paul Mwaura, a witness to the incident, revealed that the actions of the two men, especially one who is married, angered those in attendance. The situation became more intense when one of the men started to unzip his colleague's trousers, leading local residents to intervene and diffuse the situation.

“The two who were drunk and decided to make out and irate members of the public threw them out of the bar before seriously beating them.

“One of the man is married and residents are still trying to come to terms with the incidents which are on the rise,” Mwaura said.
