THOUSANDS of Kenyans have joined a service of prayer for a US missionary found murdered a month ago. Headed by Roman Catholic clergy and singing hymns, they walked in procession for 8km from Naivasha, 80km northwest of Nairobi, to the isolated spot where Father John Kaiser’s body was found. Several members of parliament were among the mourners. Father Kaiser, a member of the Mill Hill missionary order, had been a vocal critic of the Kenyan government, which he blamed for inter-tribal clashes two years ago. He had told friends in the weeks leading up to his murder that he feared for his life. Both the Kenya police and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation have launched investigations into the murder. – Reuters
