On August 30, an unknown number of gunmen raided the Kakuma refugee camp in Turkana and killed a South Sudanese refugee in an attack.
The deceased was identified as Francis Lado Abraham, 29.
The gang, which was armed with AK47 rifles had cut the deceased’s house using a sharp object to gain entry, police said.
They then shot the refugee in the head and escaped into the nearby thicket.
The wife who was inside the house at the time of the incident told police the killers were speaking Arabic language.
Three spent cartridges of 7.62mm special were recovered at the scene.
During the incident, nothing was stolen from the house, police said.
The deceased and his family were among thousands who were accommodated at the refugee camp.
Police said they are investigating murder in the issue and will liaise with their South Sudanese counterparts if it emerges the gang originated there.
