“CHARRED CORPSES

Burnt bodies piled up in the Rift Valley provincial capital of Nakuru on Saturday as tribal gangs clashed with machetes, spears and bows and arrows. At least 27 people have been killed there in three days of violence.

“All those who are fanning the violence are staying comfortably in their luxury homes while we burn,” said Nakuru resident Urunga Maina, who rushed his nephew to hospital after he was hacked by a machete-wielding mob.

“We are being used as sacrificial lambs,” Maina said.

More than 100 wounded were admitted to a Nakuru hospital, including one man with an arrow lodged in his head.

At Nakuru’s morgue, relatives wept as 16 charred corpses were unloaded from a truck. Near the small Rift Valley town of Kipkelion, a gang of youths attacked a monastery sheltering more than 600 refugees. Police drove the gang off.”
