Three Kenya Forest Service officers from the Narasha Forest Station in Baringo County arrested for assault will on Monday be charged afresh with murder, after 26-year-old Augustine Kipng’etich succumbed two days ago to injuries allegedly inflicted on him by the officers including a gunshot wound. The three, Robert Ngilimo, Hillary Bett and McDonald Wafula had on Thursday been charged at the Eldama Ravine Law Courts, for attacking boda boda operators, who had been sent by a client to fetch fencing posts from the forest. And as Kamau Mwangi now reports, the Kenya Forest Service through its chief conservator of forests says it is an isolated incident and under active investigation.
