DCI launches manhunt for thugs who vandalized church in Kericho

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) detectives in Kericho County are investigating an incident where unknown thugs broke into the pastoral residence of St Mark Catholic Parish, in Litein.

In the incident that shocked the priests who were fast asleep in an adjacent room, DCI says the thugs made away with unspecified amount of money and also gained entry into the church and vandalised the tabernacle.

“The Parish Priest Fr Moses Langat, reported to authorities at Litein police station, that on the night of May 31 and June 1st, unknown thugs broke into their house by shattering a window pane while he and other priests were fast asleep,”said DCI.

Crime scene detectives have since visited both scenes and processed them forensically with the aim of bringing the suspects of the crime to book.
