Milima Mitatu villagers in Molo, Nakuru County, were in mourning on Thursday when a four-year-old boy died mysteriously after being dropped off at school
Mary Wanjiru Njuguna, the boy's mother, told Citizen Digital that she brought her kid to the learning centre at around 8 a.m., only to receive a call two hours later alerting her that her child had fallen ill and had been transferred to Molo Sub-County Hospital.
According to the boy's family, they were later told that the dead, when playing with his peers during tea break, climbed a barbed wire perimeter wall encircling the facility but lost his footing.
The boy's balaclava became entangled in the barbed wire fence, choking him while his peers looked on helplessly.
A nice Samaritan allegedly heard the children's pleas for help and rushed to save the boy who had reportedly lost consciousness.
