Kenya opposition leader says police kill 3 in protests against inauguration

Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga says police have shot dead three people during protests against the inauguration of President Uhuru Kenyatta after months of election turmoil.

Odinga is speaking at a memorial for the dozens of people killed since the original August election, which the Supreme Court nullified over irregularities.

His remarks come shortly after police fired rifles and tear gas to break up a large opposition gathering at the original venue for the memorial.

Odinga is surrounded by people carrying wooden tombstones with the names of those killed in recent months.
