Former army colonel killed in Kenya
 

A terrible way to end a life....hopefully the captured suspect (if guilty) will lead the authorities to the other four responsible.

Sounds like the old Mau-Mau thing again-Jomo bwana Jimbuna! I never travel "unheeled". Can retirees still pack?:arrgh!:

Not in the UK but I should imagine it is allowed in Kenya.

I should think a 'Bushmaster' with three thirty rounders (strapped) would give pause in an ambuscade...and an ordinary machete for close quarters stuff.:dead:

Probably why the murderers demanded his firearms at gunpoint.

I noticed on my last sojurn to the Old Sod that the weapon of choice to Polish guest workers is a ten-inch Philips-head screwdriver to the temple!:hmmm:

Several years back, while on vacation in Hawaii, my home was invaded.
My Step-son and a friend ended up in hospitals due to the attack.
The perps were caught and did time. I also attended several other trials for those scumbags, years later, and made sure they did even more time.
At each trial I made it clear I would exterminate any intruder first and ask questions later.
Even the local LEO's are careful when they approach my home now.
