Two killed in Burundi pre - election violence

A Presidential official has confirmed that one policeman and a civilian were killed in an  overnight violence before Burundi's presidential vote on Tuesday, after blasts and gunfire echoed around the capital.
Presidential adviser Willy Nyamitwe blamed the opposition and those behind weeks of protests for the violence, putting the death toll at two. "People do it to intimidate voters. They don't want the voters to go to the polls," he told Reuters.
