The Kenya government has confirmed one of its nationals was among those
killed during chaos that rocked the northern Tanzania city of Arusha on Wednesday.
The victim was a technician shuttling between Nairobi and Arusha serving various firms.
A Kenyan diplomat told the Sunday Nation Sunday afternoon that the victim died of bullet wounds he sustained during a violent clash between protesters and the police.
There is dispute on the number of people who died during the chaos which broke up after the police stopped a demonstration called in by Chadema political party.
On Thursday, police said three people have died but Chadema says at least five people were killed while other sources say the death toll could be even higher.
The official of the Kenyan High Commission in Tanzania said the Kenyan could have been killed by a stray bullet when police fired indiscriminately
