A family living at the border of Uasin Gishu and Baringo is mourning the death of their two children who died in a house fire.
According to the police, the minors were aged one and three years old.
The police said that their mother had left them in the house around 8pm – as she rushed to the shops.
Police said that a burning candle may have caused the fire – as the woman had left the candle burning as there had been a power outage in the area at the time.
The wooden house was consumed in the conflagration, taking with it the two little lives.
The two were declared dead upon being rushed to Timboroa hospital after being fished out of the fire.
The bodies have been taken to the Eldama Ravine morgue for preservation.
Police are investigating the incident.
