Two brothers who got enraged over what a man had done to their sister, have decided to teach him a bitter lesson of his life. Two brothers from the Brooke area, Kericho County in Kenya recently ganged up, ambushed and savagely attacked a man, Eric Soi, for ‘using’ and ‘dumping’ their sister.   According to reporters, Eric Soi, a 30-year-old who works at a tea factory, is said to be very randy in his area and doesn’t seem to want to stop the act.

However, Elias Sigei and Nicholas Tum, older brothers to Linet, were not amused with the mistreatment of th...
