People living in north-east Kenya say they have discovered at least 20 bodies buried in shallow graves.
The identity of the bodies is not clear, but one of the bodies is suspected to be that of a woman who was reported missing a week ago.
The bodies were found by a herder looking for his animals, who noticed signs of wild jackals in the area near the Somali border.
Kenya’s security forces deny charges they have been killing ethnic Somalis.
The residents of ethnic Somali-dominated districts in the region have repeatedly accused Kenya’s security agencies of being behind the arrest and disappearance of youths suspected to have links with Somali militant Islamist group al-Shabab.
