The incident, which started on Friday, left residents of Umusam, Utagba-Uno, and Isumpe communities in shock and disarray as one of the deceased was set to wed on the same day of his untimely demise.

Eyewitnesses reported that one victim was gunned down near Zenith Bank, while the other lifeless body was discovered at Utagba-Uno Junction. Other victims were seriously gravely injured and were rushed to the hospital for urgent medical attention.

However, security personnel have mounted roadblocks across the area to prevent further violence and contain the situation.

Meanwhile, the fiancée of the deceased, family members and well-wishers were left in deep mourning as the joyous occasion turned into a heartbreaking tragedy.

An eyewitness, who chose to remain anonymous, recounted that the groom-to-be was walking with friends to purchase items for the wedding when he was ambushed and killed by suspected members of a rival cult group.
The atmosphere in Kwale remains tense, with parents and community members urging heightened caution as the festive season approaches.

“Crimes like kidnappings and killings are becoming rampant, especially during this period.
“We all need to be vigilant about our movements and interactions to avoid falling victim to such incidents.

“Cultism, once rooted in ideals of brotherhood, has devolved into a web of hostility and lawlessness, undermining societal values and instilling fear in communities.

“The events in Kwale serve as a grim reminder of the urgent need for authorities to address the growing menace of cult-related violence,” a concerned resident remarked.

Efforts to obtain an official statement from the police have so far been unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
