[Ali Abdi/Standard]The recent killings of young people, mostly students in Saku Constituency, Marsabit Central, has baffled residents. The killers, in jungle fatigue, mostly strike when dusk approaches and disappear under the cover of darkness into the dense Mt Marsabit forest. A day later, three youths riding on a boda boda on Karare-Songa road on the southern section of the forest were ambushed by gunmen at around 7:30pm. In 2005, five children from Karare, going for a Sunday school event at Songa, were gunned down by hit men who later fled into Mt Marsabit forest. Marsabit County Commissioner Evans Achoki said the Government is aware of the trend of conflict and what causes it.
