Girl burnt to death in Nairobi plot fire

A young girl died in a fire that devastated a 10-room house in Nairobi's Reuben area. The child, three years old, was found inside her father's room when flames engulfed the structure late Sunday night. Police discovered the mabati-walled building ablaze, with the fire believed to have started in one of the parent's rooms. Firefighters from the Nairobi County brigade and local citizens managed to put out the inferno, but the blaze had already destroyed valuable household items.

The little girl's body was taken to the City Mortuary for identification and a postmortem examination to determine the exact cause of her death.

Separately, a 45-year-old woman named Violet Ngwena Okoth passed away after being electrocuted while praying in a church in Rachuonyo South Sub-County, Homa Bay County. Okoth was alone inside the altar of Repentance and Holiness Church in Orembe Village when the incident occurred. Upon arrival, emergency workers found her body lying inside the church altar, with nearby loose electrical wires indicating a possible electrical fault.

Police reported that Okoth had been praying privately in the church before the tragedy. No visible injuries were seen on her body, and the case is currently under investigation. The body was transported to Rachuonyo County Hospital mortuary for a postmortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death.
