2 Killed, 4 Injured In Kilifi Attacks

The gang of 15 was reportedly armed with crude weapons including pangas, rungus, and spears and raided 4 villages in the 12.30 am incident.

 

The gang attacked the locals demanding for cash.

 

Masha Wanje an elder and Bakari Bokoro died while those who sustained injuries were family members together with their houseboy.

 

Bokora’s body was found on the corridor near his bedroom with deep cuts in the head.

 

It is alleged that the gang first raided the home of Shehe and surrounded the entire household.

 

All four villages which were attacked are within the same locality.

 

Locals said the area provincial administration is failing in its job.

 

Residents say they are living in fear following the continuous attacks by gangs and accused the security machinery for failing to take action to bring those behind the murders to book.

 

In the past 3 months, 7 people have been killed in a similar manner and no one has been arrested in connection with the murders.

 

They asked the government to beef up security and introduce night patrols so as to prevent more deaths in future.

 

The bodies of the dead were taken to Kilifi District hospital mortuary while the injured are admitted at the same hospital
