Five people have since died following the spate of killings , the Rift Valley Commissioner confirrmed.
"The youngest was a 16-year-old while the oldest was 33 years of age. However, we also recovered the body of an unidentified man who had no ID on him," he revealed.

The conflict began on the night of Tuesday, July 28, in Olposimoru following a botched stock theft incident. It soon spread to Nassuit, Ndosua and Mariashoni.
In the latest update, Natembeya announced that 3,008 people were currently camped at Nassuit Primary and Secondary Schools as well as the Elburgon Police Station after fleeing their homes .
