Twelve suspects detained at Kapenguria Police Station in West Pokot County, Kenya, have confessed to abducting, killing, and consuming eight children over several years. The suspects, reportedly Ugandans, have faced community backlash, including attempted lynching. In response to the allegations, a court in Kitale has ordered age verification tests for seven underage suspects involved in the case. Additionally, the Kenyan government has mandated a fresh vetting of all foreign nationals from Burundi, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda's Wagisu community residing in West Pokot, due to suspected links to cannibalism and organ harvesting. Authorities have also arrested a total of thirteen suspects related to these crimes. The case has drawn widespread attention and prompted intensified investigations by law enforcement and judicial authorities.
