Accusing Sang of stealing his chicken, Cheruiyot confronted the young man, leading to a violent altercation. Witnesses report that Cheruiyot forcibly took Sang from his residence, escalating the situation into what can only be described as severe assault.
According to reports, the assault took a horrifying turn when Sang was reportedly hanged using a chain attached to a pulley, rendering him unconscious. In a shocking display of brutality, Cheruiyot allegedly returned the victim to his home in that state, completely disregarding Sang’s life and well-being.
