Police sound alarm after hyenas kill man in Witeithie, Kiambu

The warning comes just a day after a 29-year-old man was mauled to death by a pack of at least 20 hyenas on his way home from Komu quarry. 

According to a police report, his companion escaped death by the skin of his teeth after they were attacked by the marauding animals. 

A multi-agency team comprising officers from the National Police Service (NPS), the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and other local law enforcement agencies have been deployed to contain the menace.
