An argument between two brothers turned fatal, after one of the feuding siblings shot a neighbour who had come to separate them with an arrow. In the ugly incident that occurred in Kipchumwa, Marakwet east, Joel Kitum Kipkore and Onesmus Kemboi Kipkore, were engaged in a heated
argument over a family debt of one cow. All of a sudden, Onesmus picked a bow and arrow and aimed the arrow at his elder brother. He unfortunately missed his target and the arrow went for Edwin Kibor’s left leg, a good neighbour who had come to separate the two.
Kibor was immediately rushed to Endo mission hospital where he unfortunately succumbed to the injury. Following this unfortunate incident, irate villagers and family members of the deceased set ablaze 12 houses and 8 granaries, belonging to families associated with the
assailant who immediately fled to a nearby forest. As a manhunt for the suspect ensues, elders from the Marakwet community met and contained the situation, stopping further destruction of property.

Detectives in Nakuru are hunting down two separate gangs that have become the nightmare of residents in Bondeni and Kiamaina areas of the new city.
In one of the incidents at Kiamaina early morning yesterday, a 49-year-old man was violently robbed at his home's gate when a
gun-toting gang accosted him after parking his car.
The unknown number of assailants waylaid the victim as he locked the gate, inflicting multiple cuts on his arms, knees and back, before escaping with Sh 100,000 cash and a Samsung phone worth Sh 60,000.
The attackers had then fired two rounds to scare off responders as they bolted out of the scene, leaving the victim at the mercy of emergency medical aid. Luckily, a swift response by Kiugoine police and neighbours saved the victim's life as he is recuperating at a Nakuru
Two rival church groups were at daggers drawn yesterday, as they fought over the leadership of a house of worship located in the upmarket Kileleshwa suburbs, in the country’s capital. Lavington Methodist church was turned into a battlefield as the clergymen who are ironically
called to shepherd the Lord’s flock and nourish the souls of men, went for each others’ throats. In a vicious battle not witnessed in the neighborhood said to be home to the city’s upper class, unprintable words were exchanged as the two rival factions fought for control
of the sanctuary. One group led by the incoming bishop Rev Dr Joseph Kanyamu accompanied by over 60 congregants, forcefully gained entry into the church’s office by breaking its glass doors, in a bid to eject bishop Joseph Ntombura whose term had expired.
The 2NK Sacco driver who was shown the door by his employer after he reported drunk school children to police officers, met the Director of Criminal Investigations, George Kinoti, last evening. John Muthoni, had earlier been invited by the DCI chief upon receiving news of his
sacking, that was condemned by many Kenyans online. The discouraging news had spread on social media like wildfire. We had on November 14, #Fichuad how the driver had undergone a difficult time trying to dissuade the 7 boys and 7 girls from indulging in drugs,
but the unruly students cautioned him to mind his business or face dire consequences. Mr Kinoti celebrated his bravery, after he tried in vain to contain the intoxicated kids and drove the vehicle to a police station. He wondered how 2NK Sacco would result to such a punitive
Panic gripped Gatundu town residents this morning, after sounds of gunfire rent the air outside Gatundu Law courts, bringing business in the town to a standstill for the better part of the morning.
Members of the public were going about their daily activities at around 10am,
when all hell broke loose after unknown thugs opened fire brazenly, aimed at two men who had just attended a court session. According to shocked eyewitnesses who managed to have a glimpse of what transpired, a motorbike with two pillion passengers had pulled over outside the
court before the two passengers whipped out two pistols. They then opened fire at two men who had just left the courtroom, for the mention a case in which they are accused of stealing farm produce. The daring thugs then staged their escape to an unknown destination
Samuel Gona Kaingu alias Foolish, a wanted criminal in several cases of robbery with violence in Mombasa, was yesterday apprehended by DCI officers within the precincts of the Mombasa Law Courts. The officers had gotten wind that the 21-year-old miscreant would be attending a
court hearing for an on-going criminal case. The information volunteered by a concerned member of the public turned out to be true, when the thug strolled into the court compound before noticing the presence of our hawk-eyed men.
In a poetic turn of events, “Foolish” lived up to his alias by making the costly decision to flee, much to the pleasure of the fast charging Likoni-based crime busters. It wasn’t long before they floored him and whisked him to a waiting police motor.
