Reports indicate that police officers shot six protesters in the head and back during the Angata Barrikoi demonstration against attempted grabbing of 6,300 acres of land.

The Monday incident presents yet another horrifying view of the Kenya police who have come under sharp focus by rights groups.

Relatives of the six victims reported that their loved ones were executed in brutal fashion by officers who intended to kill. Among those killed was an eight-year-old girl, who was shot in the head. Eyewitness testimonies revealed that the police used lethal force against a group that did not appear to pose any threat to them.
