The death toll of police killed by armed bandits in Samburu has risen to 30 after 19 more bodies were found scattered in bushes.
This is after an ambush by armed bandits in Lomerok area in Baragoi, Samburu North District on Saturday morning.
The bodies were flown to Maralal District Hospital.
Earlier on eleven police officers had been reported killed while ten others were injured in a fierce gun battle with bandits.
One police officer who had a bullet lodged in his chest was found on Sunday morning hanging to his life with injuries in a thicket more than 24 hours after they were ambushed.
This has raised tension in the area even as Government launched a full-scale security operation in the area.
Last month, 13 civilians were killed in the same region by bandits and no arrest has been made so far.
Two communities of Turkana and Samburu in Baragoi have on several occasions engaged in conflicts that involved armed attacks.
