Three Kenyans were killed on Sunday by suspected Al-Shabaab returnees in the coastal town of Kwale.

Regional police commander Francis Wanjohi said the three who were involved in ensuring security among communities were shot dead by armed men in separate locations.

"They were killed on Sunday morning and reports indicate that nothing was stolen from them. We are still pursuing the attackers," said Wanjohi.

According to the police, Al-Shabaab returnees are suspected to be behind the Sunday fatal shooting. Recently the same gang has executed a reformed Al-Shabaab returnee in Kwale.

Over 300 Kenya youth who had joined the Al-Shabaab group have abandoned the group and have been reintegrated into communities.
