INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Six people attending a funeral in northern Zimbabwe have been killed by a bolt of lightning.

They were among a group of people who took shelter beneath a tree during a rain storm.

Heavy rains have been falling countrywide since the weekend, filling dams but also bringing hardship, and in this case tragedy, to communities.

The six were attending the funeral in a village in the remote northern Binga district.

The Chronicle is reporting that they took shelter beneath a tree that was then struck by lightning.
