The two young men were beheaded and had their fingers chopped off... Twenty-one men who had been charged over the April violence were freed on Friday alongside former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga. Once a pseudo-religious group of dreadlocked youths who worshipped spirits in Mount Kenya and embraced rituals such as female circumcision, the Mungiki has evolved into an extortionist gang notorious for beheading its victims.
