Scores of people have been killed in Kenya's western Rift Valley province as the unrest over the disputed re-election of Mwai Kibaki, the incumbent president, continues.
The latest flashpoint is in the town of Naivasha, 90km northwest of the capital Nairobi, where at least 14 people were burnt to death in their homes, officials said on Sunday.
"We have found 14 bodies burnt in houses," a police commander told the AFP news agency on Sunday.
"It appears the attackers locked them in and set them ablaze."
Nine people were killed earlier in clashes between gangs of youths in Naivasha's slums, an AFP correspondent reported.
