Trans Mara police Boss Alfred Muthua has confirmed the incident.
Fresh ethnic clashes have erupted on the Kuria-Trans Mara border.
The clash is said to have been sparked off by the killing of a member of one of the neighbouring tribes at Enkiwanja, near Lolgorian Township by members of the other tribe.
Trans Mara police boss Alfred Muthua has confirmed the incident.
The deceased man’s body, he said, had several gunshot wounds.
It also bore several cuts from a sharp object, most likely a panga.
According to Mr Kokoyo Ole Malit, a local leader in Lolgorian, the renewed fighting was brought about by a failed attempt by the group from one side that wanted to steal cattle from their neighbours.
Gun shots rent the air as the two groups pursued each other.
“The situation is not very good here,” Mr Malit said in an interview with Nation.co.ke.
Mr Muthua said his officers had already visited the scene and picked up the body which was transferred to the Trans Mara District Hospital Mortuary.
He said they were monitoring the situation.
