Four people have been killed in a new wave of attacks in Kenya’s coastal region of Lamu.
Residents of the village where it happened have blocked the main road with boulders and burning tyres to express their frustration at the latest killings, which police say are caused by fights for resources.
Armed men are said to have conducted house raids by night, calling the victims out by name and shooting them dead.
No suspects have been charged.
Lamu County Commissioner Gilbert Kitiyo said he suspected that nomadic herdsmen were behind the killings.
He ruled out any involvement of Islamist militants, saying this attack was motivated by a fight for land, noting that the killers knew their victims by name.
