Mob beat ‘vampire’ child killer to death

A SERIAL child killer has been beaten to death by a Kenyan mob in what police described as ‘the law of the jungle’.

Masten Wanjala, 20, was arrested in July over the disappearance of two boys.

But, in a chilling confession, he admitted to murdering ten other children over the last five years – sometimes drinking their blood.

Wanjala was due to appear in court in Nairobi this week but escaped from custody on Wednesday.

However, a day later, he was trailed and beaten to death near his home after a group of locals recognised him when playing football.

Three police officers in the capital have been charged with aiding and abetting his escape.
