Police in Laikipia have recovered the burned and mutilated bodies of two officers taken hostage by Pokot militias in raids last Thursday. Police and residents said the bodies of the two, including a GSU officer, were found at Kamwenje in Baringo on Monday. This brings to four the number of police officers murdered by Pokot militias since last Wednesday. Herders from Baringo, Isiolo, Samburu, and Pokot have driven at least 135,000 cattle onto private property, including Mugie conservancy.
