The crime rate has clearly gone up a notch in Kenya. Criminals of all shades have been busy spewing misery in all directions. Chicken thieves, violent robbers, rapists, abductors and cold-blooded murderers have all ganged up against peace-loving Kenyans.
The criminals have not even spared children. The number of abductions and even murders of children in the recent past is mind-boggling. Last week, a suspect led the police to an area in the city where he, reportedly, claimed to have dumped two bodies of children — three bodies were eventually discovered at the scene. One of the bodies was that of Junior Mutuku Musyoka, 12. Before he was killed, an anonymous person had called his mother demanding Sh50,000 ransom.
