The police say they have arrested the motorcycle riders involved, who are due to be arraigned in court. At least 100 motorcycles have also been impounded.

Earlier on Tuesday, women held street protests in the capital, Nairobi, to condemn the incident and other cases of sexual and gender-based violence.
