Three people were killed in two separate criminal incidents earlier this week in Twic East County of Jonglei, according to the local government.
Twic County Commissioner Dau Akoi told Radio Tamazuj, “Criminals took cattle and killed one person and then the police pursued them with the owners of the cattle and they killed one person from the cattle raiders,” he said.
He said the raid took place at Pawoi cattle camp. He said they were unable to recover all of the cattle.
Dau also disclosed that one trader was killed and another wounded in a separate incident while traveling on the raod between Twic and Duk counties on the same day.
