11 Ethiopians Arrested Over Marsabit Raid
2005-07-27
Eleven Ethiopians, suspected to have taken part in the Marsabit massacre, have been arrested. They were to be handed over to the Kenyan authorities yesterday together with the livestock stolen in the July 11 attack on Turbi village where more than 80 people, including 18 school children, died. The children were from Turbi Primary School, which has been closed following the tragedy.

Yesterday, the Eastern Province security team, led by the deputy provincial police officer, Mr Robert Kitur, was at Forolle village on the Kenya-Ethiopia border ready to receive the suspects and the animals. The animals included more than 200 camels, 60 donkeys and 20 sheep and goats stolen during the incident. Marsabit police boss Amos Cheboi had earlier said 12 people had been arrested in connection with the attack. They include suspected raiders of Turbi and others who had killed nine people at Bubisa trading centre, 80 kilometres north of massacre scene, in a revenge attack.
