Uhuru Park tragedy: 5 dead, several injured

KiN Reports
Two blasts rocked the venue of the 'No' prayer meeting at Uhuru Park this Sunday leaving at least 5 people dead and several injured. Among the dead were a ten year old boy and a woman. Police estimates put the death toll at 5 and over 70 injured.

Reports from Uhuru Park state that there were two mysterious explotions that caught the rally attendees unawares just after dusk. Police reported that the explosives were homemade, probably petrol bombs. Among those at the rally was Mr. Ruto who is the leader of the 'No' team, Bishop Margaret Wanjiru and Belgut MP, Charles Keter. Mr. Ruto blamed the attack on innocent wananchi as a product of "people hell-bent on forcing a new constitution on Kenyans".
