At least 48 Kenyans hacked to death in ethnic clash: police

NAIROBI, Aug 22: At least 48 Kenyans were hacked to death in ethnic clashes between two rival groups, the worst single attack since deadly post-election violence four years ago, police said Wednesday.



"It is a very bad incident.... They include 31 women, 11 children and six men," regional deputy police chief Joseph Kitur said of the attack, which took place late Tuesday between the Pokomo and Orma peoples in the rural south-eastern Tana River district.
