A former British Army officer-turned-rancher was shot and killed by tribal herders in central Kenya, authorities said Sunday. Sky News reported that Voorspuy was a co-owner of the ranch and ran horseback safaris for decades with his wife Cindy. Once a tourist paradise and one of the two most important conservation areas in Kenya, the Laikipia region has been a tribal battleground for months. Several Kenyans have been killed and driven off the land by invaders from the Samburu, Pokot and Masai tribes who are heavily armed and use ammunition made in government factories. The herders have driven tens of thousands of cattle onto Kenyan and foreign-owned ranches, some of which double as wildlife conservation areas.
