MOMBASA: Dozen of attackers, suspected to be members of the separatist Mombasa Republican Council (MRC), raided a casino in the coastal Kenyan town of Malindi early on Thursday morning leaving at least eight people dead, police said.
During the ensuing battle with police, six of the attackers were killed while four of them were arrested, provincial police chief Aggrey Adoli said. One police officer was also killed in the clash.
“A gang of 50 MRC suspects armed with machetes and other crude weapons raided a casino in Malindi and started attacking patrons before police were called,” Munyasia told media from the city of Mombasa, about 120 km south of Malindi. He said it was not immediately clear if any of the casino’s guests had been hurt.
