Leaders have called on the authorities to investigate the helicopter crash, which killed five people in Turkana on Sunday night.

The accident - which killed Captain Mario Magonga and his four American passengers identified as Kyle John Forte, Stapper Brandon Howe, Burke Anders Asher and Baker David Mark -  has raised questions, including why the chopper was flying at night and on a route described as treacherous.
