Reports from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, say police have launched a murder hunt after four minibus touts were said to have been hacked to death and several others wounded in a turf war.
Kenyan radio said the deaths resulted from clashes between members of a traditional religious sect, Mungiki, and the minibus touts.
One of the touts is said to have died at the minibus terminus in Dandora district and the other three, in the Kasarani area of the city.
Correspondents say the reported deaths are part of a long running dispute between the minibus touts and the Mungiki religious sect over control of the minibus trade in the area.
