NAROK, Kenya, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Maasai tribesmen protesting over President Mwai Kibaki's re-election killed a Kikuyu man with an arrow in southwest Kenya on Friday, police said.

"The man bumped into a group of armed Maasais who shot him with a poison arrow," Narok area police chief Patrick Wambani told Reuters. Maasai and members of Kibaki's Kikuyu tribe have fought in the area since last night, with homes and shops burned, he said.
