>> ANALYSIS

>> AT LEAST 64 people were killed overnight in post-election violence in
>> western Kenya as angry opposition supporters clashed with police and
>> rival
>> tribal groups.
>> In Kisumu, Kenya's third city and a bastion of the defeated presidential
>> challenger, Raila Odinga, a mortuary attendant said police brought in 46
>> bodies.
>> "These bodies were brought here overnight by police officers from various
>> suburbs," the attendant told Agence France-Presse. "Three are women and
>> there are two infants."
>> Authorities also imposed a daytime curfew in Kisumu yesterday with police
>> ordered to shoot any violators, a senior police official said.
>> The city's morgue was surrounded by wailing relatives as police sent
>> reinforcements to block slum dwellers from reaching the city centre. "I
>> heard gunshots and we scampered off to safety and I did not know where my
>> son went. I have spotted my son's body with a gunshot wound in the
>> stomach,"
>> said an elderly woman, Mary Otieno.
>> Reporters were also shown seven other bodies in the city's main hospital
>> waiting to be transferred to the morgue.
>> The police chief of Nyanza province, Grace Kaindi, did not comment on the
>> 46
>> bodies but admitted that police had opened fire on looters during the
>> night.
>> "These are a group of young men who were causing mayhem at night, they
>> refused to disperse, forcing police to use force on the looters," she
>> said.
>> The latest deaths brought to 84 the number of people confirmed to have

>> since Thursday's general elections. The President, Mwai Kibaki, was
>> declared
>> the winner on Sunday after a disputed tallying process, but Mr Odinga
>> rejected the results, saying the Government had rigged them.
>> In the town of Nakuru, police said seven were killed after clashes also

>> Mr Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe is the country's largest but many across Kenya
>> had
>> rallied behind Mr Odinga's Luo tribe in the election to bring an end to
>> "Kikuyu rule", a trend observers had warned could trigger violence.
>> Further clashes between rival supporters in a village near Kapsabet also
>> left four dead, police said.
>> In Kisumu, Nairobi and several other cities in Kenya, life came to a
>> standstill where fighting was not taking place.
>> After almost a week of national holidays imposed by the Government around
>> December 27 for the vote, some residents from impoverished neighbourhoods
>> were running out of basic goods and started looting shops.
