Six people were killed when a young Kenyan ran amok with a Kalashnikov rifle, the Daily Nation newspaper reported on Friday.
The 18-year-old shot wildly round him, killing five people, including three children.
When an angry mob failed to catch him, they killed his brother in his place, beheading him with a machete.
A family row is thought to be behind the killings, which happened in the west of the country near the Ugandan border, where the possession of illegal weapons is commonplace. — Sapa-dpa
