Two primary school children and an adult were among three people killed in Koitumo, Marakwet East, on Monday night.
According to police spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga, the three were killed in a suspected bandit attack.
Police say the incident was a retaliatory attack, and the bandits fled with livestock during the raid.
The retaliation follows the killing of a 17-year-old boy, who was shot dead on Monday afternoon when armed bandits ambushed herders along the Kerio River, local officials said.
