International pressure mounted on Kenya today to end the election-fuelled violence that has claimed more than 300 victims.

The head of the African Union travelled to Kenya today for crisis talks hoping to end the election rioting that has killed more than 275 people.

A mob torched a church where hundreds had sought refuge, and witnesses said dozens of people – including children – were burned alive or hacked to death with machetes in ethnic violence that followed Kenya’s disputed election.
