Five die in Kenya hotel shootout: police

Monday, 14 July, 2008

A shootout outside a hotel in Kenya's capital has killed five people, police and witnesses say.

Kenyan police spokesman Charles Owino said three of the dead were suspected robbers.

The other two worked at the Holiday Inn in Nairobi.

Owino said the employees were "caught up in the crossfire".

But a witness, John Wanyonyi, said the employees worked at a casino next door.
