Kalenjin elders have promised to punish witchcraft killers who have been mutilating cows in Kuresoi South, Nakuru county.

The elders said the bizarre night time killings are a threat to their culture.

Veteran athlete Kipkirui Misoi and Kuresoi North MP Moses Cheboi are among those whose cows have been killed.

According to the Star, more than 100 cows have been killed in less than a year. Their right eyes are gouged out and genitals chopped off.

Residents have asked the elders to perform traditional rituals to punish culprits and end the killings.

According to one of the elders, cows are more than livestock to the Kalenjin community.
