Two men killed over suspected cattle theft

They were frog-matched outside the homestead where they were assaulted with crude weapons.

The Assistant Chief of  Kokwanyo West Sub-location Andrew Orinda decried increasing cases of cattle theft that occur in the area during the day.

 “It is true that theft of livestock has escalated in this area during the day. They suspected the four were the perpetrators,” Orinda said.

He urged residents to avoid taking the law into their own hands.

“Let residents report the suspects to government authorities,” he added.

Rachuonyo East Sub-County Police Commander Justus Kucha said he had sent his officers to the scene and was awaiting their report.

“Our officers have gone to the scene. I am waiting for them to give us a report of how the incident occurred,” Kucha said.
