Nairobi attack survivor 'smeared' herself with victim's blood

A survivor of the Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi has described how she smeared herself with the blood of a teenage victim to fool the militants into thinking she was dead.

Sneha Kothari Mashru said the boy - who was lying next to her as she hid behind a car - died of his wounds after he was shot by gunmen at the shopping centre in the Kenyan capital.

At least 67 civilians died in the four day siege.
