One suspected bandit has been shot and killed, and 45 head of cattle and two donkeys recovered from Luthaya village in Meru County.

The recovered livestock have been taken to Mutuati Police Station for identification and collection by their rightful owners.

This operation follows a tragic incident on April 7, when three National Police Reservists (NPRs) were fatally shot during a violent gun battle with armed raiders in Mea, Igembe North, Meru County.

According to the report, the attackers also made away with 87 cattle, 22 goats, and seven donkeys during the raid.
