Four people killed by police officers on Friday morning on suspicion of being members of a criminal gang have been identified.
Collins Kibet Kirui, Collins Kipkorir, Kevin Kipyegon and Denis Kipchirchir were gunned down in Barut, Nakuru West sub-county during a security operation.
Kipyegon and Kipchirchir were said to have been brothers and orphans who lost both parents at a tender age and were living together in Barut.

On Friday, Nakuru County Police Commander Peter Mwanzo said the four were gunned down after they attempted to attack patrolling officers with arrows.
He said the incident occurred at 1am in Kwa Maiko village, a few kilometres from the site where two people were found murdered on Wednesday last week.
The police boss said the officers were responding to a tip from residents, who reported that some young people were attacking unsuspecting passers-by with arrows.
A confrontation with the suspected gang members ensued, prompting the officers to shoot the four.
But the reports have been dismissed by neighbours, who said that Kibet, Kipkorir and Kipyegon were picked up from their houses and brought to Kipchirchir’s house, where they were killed together.
They rejected reports that there was an exchange of fire and that the four had been found with a gun, saying that the boys were innocent and should have been arrested instead of being killed.
Kibet and Kipkorir, they said, were killed inside the house while Kipyegon and Kipchirchir were brought outside before the officers pulled the trigger in the same compound. Their bodies were then taken to a nearby road.
To support the police version of events, Mr Mwanzo said he had two spent cartridges that he claimed were collected from the house where the alleged execution was carried out.
"We do not oppose security agents conducting their patrols at night, because it is for our own good as residents, but the young souls that were killed were innocent. They could have arrested them and let the law take its course instead of killing them," said a neighbour.
Mr David Kuria, a human rights defender based in Nakuru County, has called on the Inspector-General of police to conduct thorough investigations into the murders to establish the motive of the killing.
He said it was unfortunate that the young people lost their lives in a gruesome manner, adding that the four were picked up from their houses by officers who knew the people they were looking for.
He described the deaths as blatant extrajudicial killings, calling upon the Inspector-General of police to deploy officers from outside the county to investigate the matter.
“I have talked with neighbours and some of the relatives and what I gathered was that the boys were picked up from their houses by officers and executed in the house of one of the victims. The matter should be thoroughly investigated," he said.

It easy when you are dealing with 4 or 10 warriors.
When the number rises to a million warriors erupting in all corners
Kenya security forces simply COLLAPSE.
They cant even handle the humanitarian crisis of IDPS.
Mishale is deadly if they are a million and some with deadly arrow poision.
Utaona police shaking like a leaf.

The last time the government wholeheartedly embarrassed this "advice" end of quote, was in 2007. Cops were poured in Kisumu and Kibera (as it was then known), then kaboom! a place in Uasin Gishu called Kiambaa happened - literary went up in smoke. I just hope the government has better intelligence on the ground so this never happens again. O:-)

Kalenjin intelligence hakuna. Kalenjin are not people to be planned. They are as smart as the children of the snakes. That is popular kalenjin saying - be as smart as python children - who are born running. Kalenjin will just erupt if need be.

This will be a very peaceful election because Raila will be beaten by almost two million votes and Uhuru the Azimio Chairman will concede. Raila will retire. Wiki mbili tu.

This Mwanzo was recently transferred from Kasarani. He is good mouthpiece to cover for toxic thugs extra judicial hits. That Confirm gang has led to public outcry.
