Kenya’s Del Monte pineapple guards face investigation

Security guards working for the multinational fruit company Del Monte have been accused of running over and injuring two teenagers at a pineapple farm in Kenya.

The Bureau Of Investigative Journalism said the two victims were knocked off their motorbikes after a 15-minute pursuit by Del Monte guards driving four-wheel drive vehicles.

In June journalists with same organisation said over the last decade six people had been killed by guards – some of the alleged victims had been accused of stealing pineapples on the farm.

Del Monte – which supplies supermarkets across the world – said it takes the allegations seriously and is carrying out investigations.
