Two people were reportedly shot dead by police as a tussle over land took a wrong turn on Monday in Tindiret, Nandi County on Monday, September 29.
In harrowing scenes in the contentious Kimwani land, more than 600 people infiltrated the area in an attempt to evict occupants of the piece of property.
The infiltrators, who were mostly youth armed with crude weapons, claimed the Kimwani land belonged to them and was allegedly grabbed more than four decades ago.
The youth are said to have launched a well-coordinated attack on the land, but authorities caught wind of the plan, and a clash soon followed.
