Two rangers shot dead in Kenya’s Laikipia conservation area

The rangers, who are police reservists, were killed while trying to recover cattle stolen by nomadic herders

Two game rangers have been shot dead in Kenya's restive north while on a mission to recover stolen cattle.

For the last year, Laikipia, one of Kenya's most important wildlife regions, has been the scene of vicious farm invasions and battles between private ranch owners and communities bordering them.
