Two children died in a mysterious house fire in the Murinduku area of Mwea East, Kirinyaga County, on Wednesday, 8 January.
The victims were four-year-old boy-and-girl twins who had reportedly been left under the care of their grandmother when the tragedy occurred.
According to reports, the mother had gone to find a school for the children when the fire engulfed her home, claiming their lives.
Despite the neighbours' quick intervention to quell the fire, their efforts bore no fruit as the twins ultimately died in the fire.
