NAKURU: At least 50 people were murdered in East Pokot on Monday evening, just a few weeks after the Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinet issued a 48-hour ultimatum to cattle rustlers in the Rift Valley to hand in their guns.

Since that order was made, the killings have continued and Tuesday authorities declined to give a figure of those killed.
