However, the officers were only able to arrive at the scene at about 1.00 a.m. This was occasioned by the fact that the two posts do not have a vehicle and they had to access the scene on foot. In addition, the Saboti Patrol Base has only four officers while the Gituamba AP Camp has three officers and, therefore, had to seek reinforcement from Kitale Police Station. Unfortunately, the gang managed to escape after shooting dead four people while a fifth one succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment at Kitale District Hospital. Five other people were injured. Those shot dead are Fredrick Tindi, Cornelius Juma Wafula, Marko Chang’asha Wafula, Andrew Wekesa, Simon Wamalwa Werungu and those who were injured are Phanice Wafula, Meshak Opicho, Ferdinand Masinde, Bernard Simiyu and Andrew Wamalwa. During the incident, the victims were robbed of an unknown amount of money. Investigations were launched immediately and so far two suspects, Phobian Kones and Regan Matians Wambani have been arrested and charged via Kitale Police Station Cr. No.811/589/2013, Court File No.14464/2013. Efforts are underway to trace and arrest the other suspects. The following measures have been put in place by the Government to ensure that security prevails in the area:-"
