Two people were killed in separate attacks by elephants in Kwale and Isiolo Counties.
This increased to three the number of people killed in a day in the country on Thursday alone, police and Kenya Wildlife Service officials said.
The first incident happened in Samburu, Kwale County where one Chale Ngati, a wildlife scout was killed near his residential house.
The incident happened at the Mackinnon Road KWS as the victim was walking to his kitchen.
An elephant that had camped out there attacked and killed him instantly.
The animal escaped the scene soon after the incident.
The body was moved to a local mortuary pending an autopsy and other procedures.
In Isiolo’s Nasuru Conservancy, a 16-year-old boy was trampled by an elephant as he took care of their livestock.
The incident happened after the elephant attacked him near the Ewaso Nyiro River, police and KWS officials said.
The body was moved to the mortuary pending an autopsy.
Police and KWS advised the families to file a compensation claim.
Officials said these are the latest cases of human-wildlife conflict in the country.
At least two such incidents are reported in a month in the country in a worrying trend and which shows the issue is worsening.
Locals have been threatening to attack the wild animals in retaliation which threatens the tourism industry at large.
