Sex workers in Mombasa, Kenya protest mistreatment by clients after colleague's murder

Mombasa sex workers are currently holding demonstrations protesting mistreatment by clients after their colleague was allegedly murdered by a client last weekend.

The unnamed commercial sex worker was found dead by workers who came to clean the room last Saturday. Her colleagues said they last saw her entering the hotel with a man the previous evening.

Used condoms were recovered from the room as police opened a probe into the incident. Mombasa DCI boss Jacob Kanake said several people including the club's managers, are being questioned over the murder.

Kanake said they are tracing the man said to have been with the lady before her body was found.
