Six people died and several others, including an eight-year-old girl, escaped death narrowly in Rongo constituency, Migori county in a revenge 'witchcraft' attack. Residents of Nyang'au Village carried out the attack on a family suspected of being witches and torched their five houses on Thursday night. Rongo OCPD Kibet Kirui said four other family members managed to escape the attack but sustained serious burns in the incident. They were later taken to Migori Referral Hospital for treatment where they are still receiving medical attention. “So far we have not made any arrests but we are following leads and arrests will soon be made,” Kirui said.
