Seven soccer fans were killed and dozens more were injured in a stampede at a match between two of Kenya's top teams yesterday.
The stampede took place inside the Nyayo National stadium in the capital Nairobi during a match between AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia.
"Seven people are dead. People tried to force entry during the match because they didn't want to pay," David Matee, a radio operator with the St John's Ambulance, told reporters.
At least 30 people were hurt in the crush, 14 of them critically, Mr Matee said.
