  "summary": "A 55-year-old man, Julius Okello, tragically lost his life after a mining shaft he was in collapsed in Khwisero, Kakamega County. The approximately seven-metre-deep pit, which is suspected to have been used for mining, gave way, trapping Okello underneath. The public retrieved his body, which showed no visible injuries, and police are now investigating the incident. Meanwhile, an 18-year-old Ugandan hawker, Brian Ashuma, died after being struck on the head during a fight involving five Ugandan traders in Kakamega County. Ashuma succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital, and four suspects have been arrested in connection with the fatal assault.",
