Hundreds throng airport to see ‘beheaded bodies’

Malindi;Kenya: Malindi International Airport was a beehive of activity after locals jammed the facility to witness alleged arrival of six girls said to have been beheaded in Saudi Arabia. This was after word went round that the bodies were expected any time at the airport.

Security officers at the airport had a hectic time convincing the locals that there was no such arrangement. “They were here as early as noon and we told them there was no such a thing but they could not believe us. Majority opted to camp outside the facility,” says Samson Biwot, Malindi Airport assistant manager.

The locals only left after 9.00pm when the airport was closed.
