# Killings Continue on Del Monte Farm in Kenya Following G4S Security Contract

Three men have been killed in incidents over the past year on Del Monte's pineapple farm in Kenya, according to bereaved families and politicians who have raised alarm about the deaths. The killings are alleged to have involved G4S guards, a private security firm that was hired to replace the farm's previous in-house security team.

The continued incidents have prompted concern among affected families and local political figures despite Del Monte's decision to bring in the external security contractor. The deaths represent an ongoing pattern of violence on the agricultural facility, suggesting that the change in security arrangements has not resolved the underlying safety issues on the property.

The situation highlights broader questions about private security operations at large agricultural facilities in Kenya and the circumstances surrounding the fatalities on the Del Monte farm.
