Kenyan policeman charged for murder

A Kenyan policeman is to be charged with murder after he was filmed shooting at two men who were later found dead during election protests.



Police said the shooting in the western city of Kisumu shocked the country and led to an official enquiry.



Former UN Chief, Kofi Annan, who is mediating peace talks, said it is too dangerous to hold new polls for a year.



An estimated 1,000 persons have been killed. While 300,000 have fled their homes during the recent clashes.



The BBC reports that the talks between the government and opposition, aimed at ending five weeks of unrest are on the brink of collapse.
