A stampede at a football stadium during the state funeral service for Kenya’s former prime minister Raila Odinga has killed two people and injured more than 100 others.

Kenyans turned out in large numbers to mourn Mr Odinga after the democratic reformer’s death on Wednesday at the age of 80, reflecting the influence the respected statesman had on political life in the east African country.
