At least two killed after Kenyan police fire on protesters

Protests against tax rises and cost of living turn violent with hospitals reporting many wounded by gunshot

At least two people have been killed during anti-government protests in Kenya, as police opened fire on demonstrators protesting against the cost of living and tax increases.

Demonstrators hurled rocks at police and burned tyres in the streets on Wednesday, while the security forces fired teargas in the third round of anti-government protests called by the opposition this month.
