The man, named locally as George Kotini Hezron, was going home after visiting a bar in the village of Msambweni in Kwale County when he was attacked yesterday.

Residents suspected him of having the virus and decided to set upon him as he walked home at around 9pm, according to local media.

The vigilante mob argued with Hezron and accused him of having the deadly disease and threw stones at him before fleeing.

Hezron was rushed to Msambweni Subcounty Hospital where he died of his injuries.
