Double tragedy as woman, baby contract rabies after hyena attack

Namaita Langoluya, 40, was asleep in her 'manyatta' in Maundu ni Meeri area in Laikipia, when an unusual sound woke her up.

And what Ms Langoluya had at first dismissed as the pet dog turned out to be a hyena that would leave her and the four children under the doctor’s watch for days. Consequently, she has been bedridden for two months now, robbing the family of the little income she earned.
