Armed bandits on Tuesday evening shot dead two more people in the Yatya area in Baringo North Sub-County.
Police say the armed assailants ambushed the middle-aged men near the center and opened gunfire indiscriminately, killing them on the spot.
Locals fled the area after hearing tales of armed bandits holding the village captive as a result of the incident, which raised tensions in the community.
This occurred just a few hours after three people—a father, his wife, and their two-year-old child—were killed by armed bandits who raided a home.
The three family members were ambushed and shot at while traveling to a pass-out ceremony in the area, according to the locals.
