Ten Kenyans have been killed in the past three days along the Meru-Isiolo border clashes.
On Saturday, three people were reportedly killed by cattle rustlers in the area while on Monday, seven others lost their lives as they were transporting animal products along the border.
The Kenya Red Cross central regional manager Gitonga Mugambi noted that the Monday attack occurred after four youth were shot while transporting milk on the Maua-Garbayulla road.
Mr Mugambi further noted that in retaliation, the residents on the Meru side of the border attacked traders from Isiolo at Kiutine market and stabbed three to death.
Some houses were burned in Ithika, Mpeketoni, Kinanduba, Kathucine, Ntuki, and Malaene, displacing 20 families.
Tigania East OCPD Samuel Kosgey confirmed the incidents stating that they had recovered three bodies and 159 goats from the first attack.
"We were able to recover 159 goats. Investigations are still going on," he stated.
He, however, noted that the killings might not be directly related to livestock rustling stating that of late, people have been killed in the area and no livestock stolen.
