At least four people have been confirmed dead and another injured following a strain between two ethnic groups in North Horr Constituency, Marsabit County over yet-to-be-established reasons.
The dead are reportedly four men, two from each of the co-existing Gabra and Wayu pastoralist communities all killed by use of guns which the criminal investigations department (DCI) has launched investigations about their origin.
Marsabit County Commissioner James Kamau, while warning members of the public against taking the law into their own hands, said the tension was triggered by the discovery of bodies of two young men from the Gabra community in the Qorta area who had been reported missing.
Mr Kamau while addressing the press at the county headquarters after chairing a three-hour county security and intelligence committee meeting said some members of the afflicted community went on a revenge mission by staging an attack in a Manyatta at night killing two men from the Wayu community.
