The Kibokoni villas comprise more than 100 villas, according to hoteliers." The vehicles belonged to foreign tourists who had locked them in the villas," Kattam added. Police, members of the public and Malindi fire brigade had a rough time trying to put off the fire that was fanned by the strong winds from the Indian Ocean. Kattam said they were yet to establish the cause of the fire.
