Gunmen killed one person Monday after shooting at a vehicle on the Loruk-Marigat road in Baringo County. Four others suffered bullet wounds during the attack. Police said the shooters ran away after firing, their reasons unknown. Workers took the injured to Marigat hospital for treatment. Officers collected the body for examination as locals expressed anger about the incident.
Last week, attackers killed two people along the Nginyang-Marigat road in the same county. The victims were a truck driver with his passenger. The gunmen also hurt someone riding in two separate trucks during the April 21 attack. These vehicles had police escorts when hidden attackers struck them. Police reported the ambush happened at Kipcherere drift between Baringo North and Mukutani areas.
Cattle-stealing cases have decreased slowly because of security operations. The latest violence happened as Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen held a security meeting in Kerio Valley. The government wants peace in the region. Officials gathered at the Chesongoch Sisters Facility with security leaders from several local areas.
