Three night security guards were on Saturday morning found murdered in Migori town under unclear circumstances.
The three were reportedly found with serious injuries on the neck and head, a sign that they were hit by a blunt object, with one of the bodies found dumped in River Migori.
Residents of the town have expressed their anger and pointed fingers of blame to the police who they accuse of not paying enough attention to night patrols.
They say the killings are disturbing, with many of them expressing fear saying the security situation in the town is continuously deteriorating, further urging Interior Cabinet Secretary Prof. Kithure Kindiki to intervene.
The locals stated that they do not understand how the murders happened as two of the watchmen were reportedly killed near a bank which is guarded by police officers.
This is the second such incident in Migori after another watchman was also killed in February this year in a robbery with violence incident where 18 motorcycles and 30 mobile phones were stolen at a shop.
