Three pupils died after a pit latrine collapsed at Queen of Angels Academy in Turbo, Uasin Gishu County.
The victims were all young children-two girls from Pre-Primary 1 (PP1) and one girl from Pre-Primary 2 (PP2).
According to eyewitnesses, the children had gone to the latrine to relieve themselves in the morning when the structure suddenly gave way.
Turbo Sub-County police commander Patrick Wekesa confirmed the incident, stating, "Three pupils were retrieved from the collapsed latrine and taken to the hospital in critical condition." "Unfortunately, all three have since been confirmed dead, and their bodies have been taken to Turbo Sub-County Hospital before being transferred to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret." The school community is now mourning the loss, with the Catholic Diocese of Eldoret confirming the tragic news.
