Three people were killed and one seriously injured in two separate bandit attacks on Wednesday in the Baringo North sub-county.
George Chebor was ambushed and shot dead at Ngaratuko village in the first incident as he pursued his stolen cattle at Lemuyek, on the Baringo North-Tiaty sub-county border at around 2 pm.
"He was shot on the back and head and he died on the spot," area resident Richard Chepchomei said on Thursday.
The body was still lying at the scene by the time of going to press on Thursday. Tension remains high in the area.
In the second incident, a herder, Francis Changwony was shot and seriously injured as he pursued armed bandits.
He is currently being treated at the County Referral Hospital in Kabarnet town.
The bandits made away with 34 cows and 55 goats during the attack.
Baringo North OCPD Fred Odinga confirmed the incident saying the locals with the help of police officers managed to recover only five cows.
"Our officers are currently on the ground pursuing the bandits to recover the remaining stolen animals," Odinga said.
On Thursday morning, the bodies of two other men, one identified as Stephen Chelal, were found lying in a pool of blood in the Chebilat area, near the Loruk-Marigat highway.
