Student sustains deep cut in boat mishap

A 23-year-old student at Eastleigh Community Centre, Nairobi, escaped death by a whisker on Christmas Day following a boat accident on the Indian Ocean.

Mr Lawrence Otieno who had travelled to Mombasa with Maji Mazuri Youth Group for the holiday had gone swimming at the popular Jomo Kenyatta Public Beach when the glass-bottomed boat’s propeller cut its head as he swarm beneath.

Daniel Wambua, co-ordinator of group said he is admitted to Coast Provincial General Hospital. Life guards at the beach helped in the rescue.
