Mr Rogo was travelling in this minibus with his family when he was shot dead by "unknown people", police say. His supporters allege that he was the victim of a "targeted assassination" and blame the authorities.

The controversial cleric's body was carried by civilians along the Mombasa-Malindi highway on Monday.

Several people come to the aid of a relative of Mr Rogo after he was shot and wounded.

Mr Rogo's father-in-law survived the day-time attack, along with his wife and children.

In 2005, a Kenyan court acquitted Mr Rogo, who the UN and US accuse of financing militant Islamists in Somalia, over an attack three years earlier on an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa.
