A 16-year-old boy tragically lost his life after a crocodile attack in the Chepkulo River, Tuyoibei village, Bomet County.
The victim, a Form 3 student at Nogirwet Secondary School, was washing clothes when the reptile dragged him five meters into deeper waters, inflicting severe injuries to his foot, chest, and thighs.
Area police chief Panton Analo confirmed the incident, while Chief Tulmat expressed concern over the unprecedented attack, suggesting crocodiles may have strayed from the Maasai Mara game reserve.
Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has launched an investigation as the community demands answers and safety assurances.
