By Wahome Thuku

Sometime in May 1979, six heads of cattle were stolen from the homestead of Waswa in Kitale District. Two weeks later, two cows and two calves were recovered by police officers in the compound of a Mr Longo. He explained that two men, Peter and Lamilin, had brought the animals to him and that he had exchanged them for two of his own steers.
