Footage has emerged showing people being rescued by Kenyan forces in the aftermath of the terror attack at Nairobi's Westgate mall.
It comes as the country's interior minister Joseph Ole Lenku announced that eight suspects were being held over the massacre, and three others had been released after questioning.
The video was filmed by civilian security guards who went to the site to help.
They found a group of people hiding from the armed gang in a walk-in fridge in the building's supermarket.
"We are civilians," the guards can be heard saying. "Put your hands up, put your hands up."
The first of the group to emerge from the giant appliance then turns to the others and says, "police, police", to reassure them.

It is one of dozens of incredible stories of survival that have continued to emerge since Saturday's attack, which al Shabaab, the Somali militant group, has claimed responsibility for.
Mr Lenku said the country would not bow to its demands for Kenya to pull its troops out of Somalia, adding: "We went to Somalia because al Shabaab was a threat to national security.
"We will continue to take action on that front until our security and interests in the court are protected."
Al Shabaab chief Ahmed Abdi Godane has described the attack as a "message to Westerners", who had "backed Kenya's invasion" which he said had "spilled the blood of the Muslims for the interest of their oil companies".
The group has threatened "more bloodshed" if Kenya refuses to withdraw its troops.
Speaking at the funeral of his nephew on Friday who was killed in the attack, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, said if the perpetrators thought "they could deter the spirit of an open, free society" by their actions, they had "failed miserably".
"This only emboldens us and tells us how great a spirit and a nation we have," he said.
Mr Kenyatta at the funeral of his nephew Mbugua Mwangi Investigators from Britain, America, Germany, Canada and Israel are assisting Kenyan detectives with the probe into the attack.
Earlier, a car believed to have been used by the terrorists was recovered from outside the shopping centre by investigators, as forensic teams continued their examination of the bullet-scarred and scorched crime scene.
Sky's Stuart Ramsay, in Nairobi, said the suspects arrested included part of the group of attackers, as well as their accomplices.
"The first group appeared to have arrived at the shopping centre and split. Some went in and were not to come out, others, we think, may have attacked security guards and made sure that the other group could get inside," he said.
"There is then a separate group made of people who have been working on the logistics and the support for the terror group to get inside the shopping mall and perhaps pre-position weapons - that includes renting a flat nearby, and perhaps renting a shop."
Investigators are also building the profile of a man who warned a pregnant woman at the mall to flee for her own safety moments before the attack.
