 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Riot police beat demonstrators with truncheons and fired tear gas canisters as protests on Wednesday in the Kenyan capital persisted over proposed constitutional amendments that critics say leave the president with too much power.
Police shot dead a man suspected of looting a cell phone store, Nairobi's police chief King'ori Mwangi said. He said that looters were using unrest to rob business that closed early in central Nairobi.
Wednesday's confrontations — the second day of three planned days of protests — began as skirmishes but escalated into violent clashes.
