A four-year-old boy has drowned to death in a water pan in Bondo sub-County of Siaya.
According to Siaya County Police Commander Cleti Kimaiyo, the incident took place in the Kopolo area of Bondo.
The incident sent a wave of grief across South Sakwa Ward as locals struggled to come to terms with the boy’s untimely death.
Preliminary reports indicate that the boy slipped into the dam located in the Kopolo area while in the company of his siblings.
His brother Stephen Otieno told the police that his younger brother, who had accompanied others to fetch water, drowned in the dam.
“The pre-primary 1 pupil at a local primary school was allegedly playing with the others. He fell into the waters before drowning as his playmates watched helplessly,” Kimaiyo said.
The boy’s body was retrieved from the dam by members of the public.
“The body has been moved to Bondo sub-county hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem.”
