A ten-year-old girl was devoured by a hyena in Katelembu area in the outskirts of Machakos town on Christmas eve.
Area Josephine Munyiva said the bizzare incident happened when the girl was looking after goats in a nearby grazing field.
Machakos Town area is under pressure from wildlife after it experienced some rainfall forcing animals to migrate from Kapiti Plains is search of pasture. Hyenas have followed them in search of prey.
Farmers have been complaining of attacks on their cattle by wild animals.
The locals accuse local KWS officers of laxity in discharging their duties and responding to emergencies even after several complains were launched regarding wildlife.
