Police say they have arrested six people in connection with the death of Kenyan human rights activist Caroline Mwatha.

Director of Criminal Investigations George Kinoti told Kenyan media that police believe she died in an abortion clinic and the suspects took part in or facilitated what appears to have been a botched abortion.

Ms Mwatha worked documenting extrajudicial police killings in the capital, Nairobi.

She went missing last Wednesday and Amnesty International tweeted that they had hoped she would be found alive.Article share tools
