NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Two suspects were killed by security agencies after the shooting of Italian-born author and conservationist Kuki Gallmann, Kenya’s Internal Security Minister Joseph Nkaissery said Monday.
A gun was recovered after Sunday’s attack and was being examined to see if it was used to shoot Gallmann in the stomach, Nkaissery told The Associated Press. Other suspects are in custody, he said.
Gallmann was shot while patrolling her ranch, which recently was targeted by arsonists amid tensions with herders seeking pasture as Kenya’s drought worsens. She was reported to be in stable condition after surgery.
The local farmers‘ association has said suspicion over the attack has fallen on herders who have invaded Gallmann’s ranch several times.
