Kenya: 3 Dead, Dozens Rescued as Boat Carrying Tourists Capsize in Watamu.

A boat carrying tourists has capsized in south-eastern Kenya, killing three people and leaving one person missing, police said.

Around two dozen people were rescued.

The cause of the capsizing was not immediately known.

The boat was carrying 29 people, 15 of whom were foreigners, and it overturned at the Watamu Marine National Park and Reserve, which is a common tourist destination along the coast north of Mombasa.

Twenty-five people were rescued and some were admitted to hospital and are in a stable condition, Malindi sub-county deputy police commander Solomon Odero said.

He ruled out speculation that the boat was overloaded.

The nationalities of the foreigners who were involved were not immediately revealed.
