Two of the robbers managed to escape.
“We had been looking for them because even yesterday they robbed a supermarket at Munyaka. The previous day, they took Ksh10,000 from another supermarket. Two escaped during the shooting that killed three of them," said one of the officers.
The officers found an AK 47 assault rifle with erased serial numbers holding 23 bullets.
The bodies of the three unidentified suspects have been transferred to the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital Mortuary.
