A mob in western Kenya has killed a self-confessed serial killer who escaped from custody two days ago.

M.W, 20, was traced by villagers to a house and beaten to death.

Authorities had launched a massive manhunt for the fugitive who admitted to killing more than 10 young boys during a five-year period.

He also confessed to drugging them and in some cases drinking their blood.

He reportedly returned to the home of his parents - who have disowned him - and was subsequently strangled by neighbours who found out he was there.

He tried to stave off suspicious locals by moving to a nearby house. His family identified the body, although a police spokesperson said they are still doing "basic verification" to make sure the deceased is indeed him.

"We are not sure how he managed to travel all the way from Nairobi to his rural home,"police said. "It is the curious villagers who first identified him and went ahead to kill him even before the police could be informed."

The mother of one of the victims told she wanted to know why he did what he did.

"I would have loved to see him in court, so that I get to know why he did this - why he brutally killed our children and left us with pain," she said.

The badly decomposed body of her teenage son B. O. was one of 4 recovered by police on the outskirts of the capital Nairobi in July.

A post-mortem carried out by the government pathologist showed they had been strangled and hit on the head with a blunt object.

He killed his first victim when he was just 16 years old, a similar age to some of his victims.

He posed as a football coach to lure his victims to secluded areas, after which he attacked them.

In some cases he took them as hostages for ransom.

The killings took place in Nairobi, and areas of eastern and western Kenya.

Three police officers who were on duty when he escaped on Wednesday have been charged with aiding the escape of a suspect and negligence.

Police say they noticed he had disappeared during the morning roll call. There was no sign of a break-in at the prison cell.

There are growing calls for the resignation of Kenya's police chief over the escape, which shocked the nation and and led many on social media to ridicule the police.

The victim's killing by mob justice two days later however is a tragic reminder of the deep anger, hate and frustrations that many Kenyans feel for the National Police Service.

Kenyans saw this as an open-and-shut case, which the police bungled.

After more than three months of investigations, Kenyans are asking why was he never taken to court to face murder charges?

It raises questions about Kenya's judicial process - whose wheels often grind slow, and in this case, were completely broken, destroying the hopes for justice for families of the victims.

The dead guy admitted he had killed more than 10 young boys. He's evil and bound to do it again if he's set free. It's never okay to pass down judgement like this without a proper court hearing. Honestly though, I'm glad justice was served, even if it came from the mob!

~ He was taught something superstitous in his childhood that stuck, so he followed up on it as he grew up, by killing the young ones & drinking their blood.
