At least six police officers were on Wednesday shot dead by suspected Pokot bandits in Laikipia. County commissioner Onesmus Mwaniki said the affected officers are based at Kamwenje patrol base in Laikipia West. They were on a familiarisation tour before the bandits, who were waiting at a sharp bend, attacked them. Kuki Gallmann was shot in the stomach after the vehicle she was driving in was ambushed. The previous month, Tristan Voorspuy, a British military veteran who ran a safari company, was shot dead at a private ranch in Laikipia after he went to inspect the remains of a friend's home that had been burnt down.
