NAIROBI, Kenya, May 7 (UPI) -- Over 60 people are reported dead, and dozens of other blinded, after drinking homemade alcohol laced with industrial chemicals, in four rural counties in Kenya.
Officials say methanol was added to the distilled alcohol to boost its strength, and the deaths and bindings in Embu, Kitui, Limuru and Kiambu counties -- all in the vicinity of the capital of Nairobi -- have been reported since Sunday.
