An officially statement released by Al shabaab Fighters claimed the responsibility of attacks those took place in Lamu county.
Al-Shabab armed group beheaded at least three men in an attack on a Kenyan village.
“They were slaughtered. Their heads were cut off from the rest of their bodies,” a police source told Reuters news agency, asking not to be named.
Police said four bodies had been found at Maleli village in Kenya’s coastal county of Lamu. Area county commissioner Gilbert Kitiyo said he was aware of three deaths.
“A group of armed suspects raided and killed three locals. All the three were men,” Kitiyo said, adding the suspects set houses ablaze before disappearing into a nearby forest.
“We cannot speculate, but from previous attacks, the nature and style of this attack can only be associated with these al-Shabab criminals.”
Kenyan Police are currently combing the village for the attackers.
The latest attack comes barely ten days after nine people were massacred in Jima and Poromoko villages, Lamu County.
A major operation is ongoing in the area but it has not stopped the attacks, Kenyan media said.
