Three people have been confirmed dead, several injured and a house torched at Kaisari Village in Pandanguo, Lamu County after a Sunday morning attack by suspected Al-Shabaab militants.

The officer also said that the number of dead and was expected to rise since officers on the ground said there was a possibility that other bodies were yet to be retrieved.
"I have been on the ground. We have recovered bodies of three people who were killed this morning. One was beheaded, another one was burnt to death when they set his house on fire. The third one is a local brewer who was gunned down atop a Mkoma tree where he had gone to tap wine.
"As we speak, we also have a survivor who was shot four times in the hand and is currently admitted to Mpeketoni Sub County Hospital. Kenya Defence Forces soldiers and police officers are on the ground," said the officer.
