If witnesses saw suspect carrying the woman's head,how could he then disappear from their sight?
Terrible thing to happen to anybody.I take is that this fellow is very sick in the head. Nontheless, should be given a punishment fitting his mental state.
My initial thought exactly!! My initial action would have been to either tame, fight, injure or kill this bastard! It's all about protecting the sanctity of life! This murderer deserved mob justice and i believe though he had a panga, the villagers would have collectively apprehend or kill him before he kills other people. Now the entire Meru country are living in fear.
God, have mercy on our sick. We have to begin addressing mental illness.
