For the last two weeks, a gang operating on motorbikes has been terrorising Karen residents. The attack patterns - where the victims are left with deep cuts - suggest that it is the same gang.

In one of the attacks along Nyumba Moja Road, two men on a motorbike accosted three men at about 9.30pm and stabbed one of them in the stomach when he tried to resist.
