Balaclava-clad gunmen stormed a church in Kenya during a service on March 22; two people were killed at the scene, and a further five later succumbed to their injuries.
The attackers descended on Joy in Jesus Church in Likoni near Mombasa at around 10am. They killed a 60-year-old watchman before shooting into the congregation, as well as at those standing outside. One of the attackers shouted, ‘Allah is great’.
Assistant pastor Phillip Musasa was among the dead. Scores were injured, and 15 were hospitalised, including women and children. A young boy, whose mother was killed, had a bullet lodged in his head.
