Four workers of St Andrews School, Turi in Molo, Nakuru County are nursing severe burn injuries after they were electrocuted on Tuesday.

The four men aged between 50 and 60 years were reportedly moving a tent at the school's compound from one location to another when it came into contact with a three-phase power line and were seriously injured.

Police Officers from Molo Police Station led by OCS Johnson Lemuna together with their  Kenya Power counterparts visited the scene before visiting the four men who were recuperating at St Joseph's Hospital in Molo to establish the nature of the incident that had befallen them.

According to a St Joseph's Hospital medical report seen by Citizen Digital, the four men, two aged 60 years and the others 58 and 50 years sustained burns on their chests and legs.

The school's administration declined to comment on the incident.
