Monday, December 03, 2012 - In Embu, a man who is suspected to be a member of a gang that has been terrorizing residents of the municipality was yesterday found dead near a church in the area.

The body of the man had severe marks on the body and police suspect that he was killed by fellow members of the gang to conceal their activities in the area.

His body was found by worshippers of ACK old stadium church where it was dumped. It is thought that he was killed elsewhere using a blunt object and his body later dumped.

While confirming the incident, Embu West Acting DC Daniel Obudo said that the man may have been in the gang which is said to have raped two women injuring two men and robbing residents in the area.

Police have been tracking down the group but their efforts were futile. The death of the man will however help piece together the puzzle and have his assailants and members of the gang nabbed.
