Tension is high in Kiserian, Baringo South, after two people were shot dead by suspected armed bandits on Thursday. The attackers, believed to have come from neighbouring Tiaty subcounty, shot dead 70-year-old Lokuyalem Lemilita and his 10-year-old grandson, a Grade 4 pupil at Kiserian Primary School. “They were both herding their animals at Bartulo Hill when the bandits ambushed and attacked them at around 3pm” Baringo South subcounty police commander Benjoliffe Munuve said on Friday. The two bodies were moved to the Baringo County Referral Hospital mortuary in Kabarnet town. The bandits fled with 67 head of cattle towards Ramacha, Laga Mbaya and Mlima Karau.
