Dear Sir,
LYNCHING OF A SUSPECTED PICKPOCKET
I am writing you this letter to narrate the ugly incident that happened in our local market last week during which an angry mob of traders lynched a suspected pickpocket.
I was buying meat from one of the meat sellers at the meat section of the market when the incident happened. Suddenly, we heard a great noise which started from one of the nearby stalls. Everybody was alarmed and I could not continue the haggling of price I was engaged in with the meat seller. Out of curiosity, I suspended what I was doing and tried to see what was happening. The noise became louder as the crowd pursuing the suspected thief came closer to me.
While I was trying to see what was really happening, a young man who was an albino ran across the meat stalls where I was and I noticed that a large crowd was running after him shouting; ole! ole!! As he was running. he was pleading his innocence but the crowd, defiant and determined as they were, gave him a hot chase.
As the noise was spreading to the other parts of the market, a man, who must have sighted the albino and the crowd pursuing him, ran towards the thief and brought him down with a great stall.
