Two injured in Embakasi attacks

Two people were stabbed and seriously injured in retaliatory attacks in Embakasi. Up to 20 houses were burnt in the Wednesday incident that caused tension before police arrived. This displaced about seven families, rendering them homeless.

The attackers said they were avenging the killing of one of their colleagues who died in hospital days after being stabbed at the weekend. Police said the victim, identified as John Mwangi, died in hospital following a political disagreement in Mradi area on Sunday. And when reports of his death reached the area, a group was dropped there that barricaded the roads for several minutes.
