Nairobi, Kenya: Residents of Kahawa Sukari in Ruiru Wednesday held demonstrations over rising insecurity in the area.

The protest was ignited after two security guards were found brutally murdered on Wednesday morning at a garage where they worked. They had deep cuts in their heads and limbs, and a sword was found at the scene.
