A TERRIFIED woman from Haslemere has spoken of her ordeal after being caught up in the Kenyan shopping mall seige.

Hannah Chisholm, 21, was at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi on Saturday when heavily-armed militants stormed the building.

She described hearing gunfire while hiding in a storeroom with other shoppers for three hours before being released.

Hannah said: "We kept running to different places but the shots were getting louder so we barricaded ourselves along with about 60 others into a large storeroom.

"There were children hiding with us as well as someone who had been shot.

"At that point we thought the gunmen were thieves so we assumed they wouldn't try to reach the storeroom."
