Angry Marioshioni residents set on fire trailers estimated to be worth Sh160 million as they protested at the death of a motorcyclist and his passenger.

Mr Rodas Kibet, an eyewitness, said the rider was trying to overtake a trailer at Marioshioni on the road to Elburgon when he was crushed by another lorry that was coming from the opposite direction.
