Three people killed, 3 others injured by suspected bandits in Baringo

Three people were on Wednesday killed by armed suspected Pokot bandits at Tandar village in Muchongoi ward, Baringo County.

According to area Nyumba Kumi elder James Seurei, the attacks occurred at midday during which fierce gunfire saw the three shot dead on the spot as three other locals also sustained serious gunshot wounds.

Kabarnet Commissioner Abdirisack Jaldesa confirmed the incident saying investigations are underway, noting that the injured were taken to hospital in Laikipia County.

Baringo County Police Commander Adamson Bungei said one of them was injured on the leg, the other on the wrist, and the third on the hand.

Bungei said the operation is ongoing along Konkor hills and valleys as well as Ng'elecha hills where the bandits are believed to be hiding.

“Konkor is an area which needs plenty of strategy in approach so that we don’t get more casualties. We are in control and will get to the root of all this,” he stated.
