Police are investigating at least six cases of mob justice that were reported in separate parts of the country.
Mob lynching is deemed criminal and police warn those behind them they will be arrested and prosecuted.
The first incident happened in Nyeri where two men were lynched by a mob in Nyaribo area in a botched robbery.
Police said they were called and informed the two bodies were lying dead with visible injuries 50 meters apart.
The locals said the two were among a group of criminal gangs that had been terrorizing members of the public and had been involved in breaking and stealing in Nyaribo.
They were chased and stoned to death.
In Kisumu West, a man was lynched after he assaulted and injured another one in a fight.
Irate members of the public cornered the suspect while in his house and subjected him to mob injustice, killing him.

“The suspects should be surrendered to police who will investigate and take necessary action. No one should lynch a suspect,” she said.
