Man Lynched for Stabbing Prostitute to Death After Refusing to Pay

A man was lynched in Majengo slums, Nairobi, after stabbing a commercial s*x worker to death in a disagreement over her pay, The Star Kenya reports.

According to the story, the man had agreed to give the woman Sh200 but refused to pay after they had s*x, prompting a fight. The man stabbed the woman to death during the violent fight. In anger, an angry mob mostly prostitutes attacked the man.

The woman did not survive as she was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital. The bodies were taken to City Mortuary. Several incidents of the murder of prostitutes have been reported in counties including Nairobi, Laikipia and Nakuru all in Kenya.

In October 2015, they petitioned the President to help end killings believed to have been targeted, saying they deserved fair treatment.

The Kenya Sex Workers Association wrote an open letter to President Uhuru Kenyatta, following the killing of four prostitutes, whose bodies were disfigured. The killings sparked fears of a serial killer, protests over police laxity and demands for protection by the government.
