Posted by: lukwago J in News May 2, 2020

Residents in Machakos town Kenya have experienced shock after a landlord identified as Makau Lucah was thoroughly beaten to death for demanding rent for April 2020.

Mr Makau is said to have provoked his tenants at Evergreen apartments in Machakos town after he approached them demanding for payment of April in full amount.

During the argument, 2 of his tenants came out and asked him to help them pay part of the money in an effort to protect them amid this economic crisis of coronavirus pandemic.

The landlord insisted that they should pay full amount or else they vacate his building.

Witnesses at the scene informed our reporter that the arrogant landlord started arguing with two of his defiant tenants.

This is when the situation became so ugly when Mr Makau was attacked by over eight angry tenants who wanted to teach him a lesson for violently demanding his rent during this covid-19 period, where everyone is confined at home.

Mr Makau was beaten and thrown on the ground where he suddenly collapsed and died.

The area police chief Mr Musyoka John and his team have launched investigations in to the matter.
