Tseikuru attack probe launched after seven killed in Kwa Kamari incident

Calm is gradually returning to Kwa Kamari village in Tseikuru sub-county, Kitui County, two days after a deadly inter-community attack left seven people dead, scores injured, and several houses torched. A heavy contingent of the General Service Unit and regular police has been deployed to restore order and prevent further attacks. Kitui County Governor Julius Malombe, while calling for a truce, asked the interior ministry to operationalise police stations along the Kitui-Tana River border to prevent a repeat of the clashes. 12 people have been killed so far in retaliatory attacks along the volatile border.
