TWO Tanzanian nationals accused of mounting a series of attacks on tourists in southwestern Kenya’s Maasai Mara Game Reserve nearly two years ago have been sentenced to hang by a Narok court. Saikara ole Kisusua, 36, and Kamakoru Suele, 25, were convicted on 10 counts of robbery with violence by Narok Senior Resident Magistrate Thomas Auma. The two robbed 29 American tourists and local guides of money, cameras, binoculars and other personal belongings. The tourists, who were heading for the world-famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve in southwestern Kenya, were in a convoy of seven vans at the time of the attack. – AFP
