Two British women were wounded and a Swiss man who tried to help them was fatally stabbed when a drunken German tourist ran amok in a Kenyan coastal resort.

Olaf Klinkusch, 41, attacked one of the women, Christel Blubau, on Saturday evening in the Indian Ocean town of Malindi after a drinking session with other guests lasting several hours ended in a quarrel, the district commissioner, Mabeya Mogaka, said.

When a Swiss tourist, Hugo Meischerhaus, intervened to protect Ms Blubau, Klinkusch fatally stabbed him.
