Family and friends gathered to mourn Anthony Shungea Pasha who was thoroughly dismembered and killed by hyenas while he was collecting firewood at a forest neighbouring his homestead, in Kajiado, Kenya Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2024. The wild animals from the Nairobi National Park have been distressing the community. "Everything has been killed in this homestead. Cows were killed, goats and now its people. We haven't found any part of the deceased. We have not been given any help," Gladys Maingu, relative to Pasha, echoed. - photo by AP Photo/Brian Inganga
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Marauding hyenas killed a man and wounded two people near a university outside the Kenyan capital, officials said Tuesday, prompting hundreds of students from the school to block streets to protest what they called a lack of security. One of the wounded was a student at Kenya’s Multimedia University who was attacked by the hyenas late Monday on a road that borders the Nairobi National Park in Ongata Rongai. Students from the university disrupted traffic there Tuesday as police used tear gas to disperse them.
