In a devastating incident, four members of the same family have been buried alive in a mudslide that struck Torokiat Village in Narok County, following heavy rains.
The victims include a father, mother, son, and daughter.
The tragic happened on Monday night, with the bodies of the victims still submerged in the muddy ground as of Tuesday morning.
The deceased have been identified as Robert Keter (35, father), Faith Keter (24, mother), Brian Keter (5, son), and Cherotich Keter (3, daughter).
According to Isaac Omare, the Narok South Sub-County Police Commander, the family was sleeping in their house when the mudslide struck, claiming their lives.
Omare warned that the area is prone to such disasters and urged residents living in low-lying, steep areas to relocate to safer grounds.
Narok South Deputy County Commissioner Felix Kisalu also noted that the heavy rains have caused flooding in the Ewaso Nyiro and Oloshapani rivers, hampering transportation across the area.
He advised residents of Chepalungu, Torokiat, Pampanik, Oloishusho, and Enakishomi to exercise caution and remain vigilant during this rainy season.
Police are currently in the process of recovering the bodies from the muddy ground.
The tragic incident has left the Torokiat Village community in mourning, as they grapple with the devastating loss of four members of the same family.
