More than 10 people have been rushed to hospital after they were stung by bees during a burial ceremony at Kasemeini Village in Kibwezi, Makueni County.

The burial of Kyalo Kasyoki, who died on Sunday after he was reportedly hit by a motorbike, was disrupted when a swarm of bees descended on mourners, forcing them to flee.

Those injured were taken to Kibwezi AMREF Hospital for treatment.
