SUICIDE

A resident, Mr Isaac Mwakazi said: "We alerted the police after seeing the bodies. We looked at them and realised that they are not from within."

The incident comes two days after an Italian committed suicide by locking himself in a car and setting it a blaze at a beach in Malindi, Kilifi County.

According to preliminary investigations by the police, the Italian identified as Edmond Buffa aged 71 had been residing in Malindi for 20 years and was operating Tusker Safari, a tourists’ advisory company.
