The bandits launched an attack near St Benedict’s Arror Girls Secondary School in Marakwet West sub-county, Elgeyo Marakwet County at about 1pm on Sunday. Kibiwott’s killing brings the death toll of the Kerio Valley attacks to 63, since June last year. On Saturday, a 60-year-old herder was shot dead metres from Tot Sub-County Hospital, again not far from Tot Police station in Kerio Valley. The herder’s body was taken to Tot Sub-county hospital’s mortuary, which is near where he was killed. No Kenyan has died of terrorism in the last few months, but more than 60 people have died of banditry in Kerio Valley alone.
