A survivor of the Kenya university massacre in which 148 people were killed has told how she hid from gunmen by covering herself with clothes in a wardrobe.
Cynthia Cheroitich was found by security forces two days after the attack, as medical staff carried out the grim task of dealing with the victims' bodies.
The atrocity was carried out by four gunmen from the al Qaeda-linked Somalia-based terror group al Shabaab, who were killed at the end of the day-long siege.
Ms Cheroitich, 19, said from her hospital bed that she had hid in a large cupboard, refusing to emerge when some of her classmates came out of hiding at the demands of the extremists.
She said the Islamist militants separated the group into those who could read Arabic and who could not.
Ms Cheroitich, a Christian, said: "I was just praying to my God."
She also said she drank lotion to stave off thirst and hunger.
She said she did not believe that rescuers urging her to come out of her hiding place were there to help, suspecting at first that they were militants.
It was only when security forces had one of her teachers appeal to her that she did she come out, she said.
Fellow student Cheruiot Tiebafy told how he used the blood of his colleagues to survive Thursday's massacre at Garissa University College.
He said: "Actually I am the only man who survived from all the boys who were held hostage.
"I just smeared the blood of my colleagues, I ate the blood to be my lunch and I go to sleep there for around 13 good hours when we got to be hostage and I pretended to be dead.
"They turned me around, they kicked me but I'm alive."
