Police shot and killed two notorious thugs who have been terrorising residents of Uasin Gishu, Trans Nzoia, Bungoma, Kakamega and Vihiga.

Their action prompted an equal reaction from the officers who responded in kind and rained a hail of bullets on the criminals, killing them instantly.


Apparently, the fallen thugs were part of a five-man criminal outfit that stated 8 armed attacks in the five counties targeting MPESA shops, supermarkets and wholesales between October 22, 2022, and December 26, 2022, that saw innocent victims losing millions of shillings

The two criminals were also linked to an incident in which 3 members of the public lost their lives and several others sustained serious injuries following a shootout with the police.


All those incidents were linked to the same firearm, which occasioned the launch of a serious manhunt for the criminals in all the affected counties.

Police recovered an AK-47 assault rifle from the criminals and 19 rounds of ammunition.
