Leopard mauls 12 year-old to death

Grief struck Ngilai village, Samburu East after a leopard mauled a 12 year-old boy to death.

It is alleged that the deceased met his death on the slopes of Mount Mathews ranges where he was hiding after escaping a beating from boys whom he was herding livestock with.

Wildlife officers from Ngilai Park are still searching for the leopard in order to kill it.

Residents are now appealing to Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to give them traps to net the leopards which have been a menace in the area.
