A couple was Thursday evening killed when a light aircraft crashed in the vast Kedong ranch in Naivasha.
Marcus Dunn and Anne Dunn were returning to their farm in Loldia, Naivasha, when the crash occurred.
It took police and rescuers more than six hours to reach the crash site and recover the bodies along with personal effects, including a firearm.
Naivasha DCIO Isaac Kiama confirmed the incident, saying poor visibility caused by fog may have contributed to the crash.
“The aircraft and its occupants were trapped in a valley upon impact, complicating rescue and recovery efforts,” Mwai said.
