Mob gives suspected thief the gutter justice

A suspected thief who was caught while trying to burgle a house in broad daylight was given a kind of jungle justice he never expected, as he was made beaten mercilessly and made to swim in a muddy gutter.

The young chap was nabbed just as he sneaked into a private property to loot the properties. Unknown to him, the owners of the house had not gone too far and got back home just in time to see apprehend the thief.

According to an eyewitness, the thief who never expected that the house owners would surprise him was given immediate justice:

"This afternoon, I heard my landlord shouting thief! thief!! Hold him! The suspected thief ran out from my landlord's daughter's room and was nabbed by nearby people.

When questioned, he said he is a student and when asked the school he attends, he couldn't answer. Later, he said, he is into business.

He was beaten mercilessly and handed to the police after swimming in the gutters."
