Kenya: Robbers kill two at resort
A German tourist and a businessman were battered to death by thieves who followed them to their apartment at a Kenyan beach resort.
Police said there was a long struggle last night between the men and the robbers, who had overpowered the security guard at the Diani beach resort.
“They were killed with crude weapons, like clubs and machetes. Both of them were hit in the head,” a spokesman said.
Police refused to identify the two men except to say one was a resident German businessman and the other a German visitor.
Diani is about three miles south of Mombasa, Kenya’s tourist capital.
The deaths were not being linked to the post-election ethnic violence that has driven many tourists from Kenya.
