A two-year-old boy died on Thursday, leaving his mother and three other siblings seriously injured after their semi-permanent rented house collapsed on them while sleeping in Bondo town.
The deceased boy was identified as Paul Scroll Omondi, his mother Lilian Aoko, and siblings Clinton Okoth (10), Michael Omondi (8), and Fransisca Atieno (5).
Confirming the incident, Siaya County Police Commander Cleti Kimaiyo said a boda boda operator within the Town reported the matter to Bondo Police Station.
Kimaiyo stated that police officers who were on patrol then rushed to the scene and established that the mud walls of a semi-permanent rental house comprising of three single rooms had soaked due to the ongoing rains and caved in.
Further, he revealed that during the ill-fated incident, Lilian together with her three children Clinton, Michael, and Fransisca sustained serious injuries and were rushed to Bondo sub-county hospital for treatment.
