At least fifteen women accused of being witches have been burned to death by a rampaging mob in a village in western Kenya, police say.
A gang of about 100 people moved from house to house searching for the women in Kisii District late Tuesday, tied up their victims and set them ablaze, Local official Mwangi Ngunyi and witnesses said.
They also torched 50 houses in Nyakeo village, located some 300 kilometers (180 miles) northwest of the capital Nairobi.
Mwangi Ngunyi condemned the murders, saying a security operation has been launched to hunt down villagers suspected of killing the women.
