Turkana North District Commissioner Jack Obuo has said that suspected Merille raiders attacked Meyan village and shot dead two women before fleeing with unknown number of animals. Meawhile, security team and elders from the two countries are scheduled hold a joint meeting to ease rising tension between the two communities following the sporadic attacks. Mr Obuo said the meeting would be held at Kangateng in Ethiopia to quell the attacks caused by scarcity of water and pasture.
