Six people, including one policeman, were killed in a clash btween police and residents in Burundi's
capital on Wednesday, witnesses and a police spokesman said.
The incident occurred in the Cibitoke neighbourhood, in the outskirts of the capital Bujumbura.
Burundi has been locked in its worst political crisis since its civil
war ended a decade ago, with protests erupting in late April against
President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid to seek a third term in office.
Dozens have been killed.
Monday's parliamentary election was boycotted by the opposition, and
the presidential vote, scheduled for July 15, also comes in the face
of widespread protests.
Police spokesman, Pierre Nkurikiye, confirmed the incident, and added that four people had been arrested in relations with the killings.
