The Ethiopian authorities have nabbed suspects linked to the murder of four Kenyan fishermen near Lake Turkana.
Reports indicate that the four fishermen were killed around 4 am while the victims were busy preparing to cast their nets inside Lake Turkana.
Their bodies were discovered in the morning lying beside the lake.
The four suspects linked to the murder were arrested by Ethiopia’s Dassanech District officers following a security operation conducted on Friday, in the evening along the Kenya-Ethiopia border.
During the operation, the police recovered a firearm that was in the custody of one of the suspects.
According to reports, the arrest came after the police detained the parents of the suspects to pressure the four to surrender to the authorities.
The Ethiopian authorities urged their Kenyan counterparts to promptly engage them regarding the arrest of the suspects.
As investigations continue, the motive behind the arrest remains unclear.
