A mob has killed a man suspected of stealing a bicycle in Salima.
Salima police spokesperson, Jacob Khembo, says the man, Mdala Njelema (33), is said to have stolen a bicycle parked outside a shop.
“The bicycle owner was inside the shop,” says Khembo.
He said when the thief tried to flee with the push-bike, a mob descended on him.
On getting a report, police rushed to the scene and took Njelema to Salima district hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
