NAIROBI – Seven people have been arrested in connection with six beheadings that are believed to be the work of a banned religious sect in Kenya, police said yesterday.
The beheadings over the weekend in villages on the outskirts of Nairobi came weeks after members of the Mungiki sect fought with the police over control of minibus terminals, where they have been extorting money from drivers.
