Al-Shabaab militants have beheaded two Somali policewomen, prompting a policeman to kill five women linked to the group who were being held for a possible swap of captives, an official said on Wednesday.

The policeman killed the women - all wives of rebels from the Somali Islamist group - after discovering the dead bodies of his policewoman wife and her colleague, Tayeglow district commissioner Mohamed Abdallah told Reuters.

“We wanted to negotiate the release of the Somali policewomen but unfortunately they were beheaded,” he said.

The policewomen’s bodies were found in the morning after they were abducted from their houses by rebels overnight.
