Four people died from drowning on Monday across different parts of Kenya, including a six-year-old boy, police reported.
In Athi River, Robert Kilonzo, 40, fell into a well at his home. He was using a pulley to remove mud when he slipped. Police helped community members recover his body hours later. They took him to Kangundo Level Four Hospital morgue for examination.
Officials found an unidentified man floating in the River Sagana, Kirinyaga County. His decomposed body had become trapped against a tree near the riverbank. The remains went to Kerugoya Referral Hospital until someone can identify him.
Albert Mwanzia drowned in a Makuyu dam, Muranga County, after slipping on the water. Local swimmers retrieved his body before police arrived. A six-year-old pre-primary student from Bright Young Star Academy drowned in a seasonal river in the Gatwanyanga area, Mbeere, Embu County. Community members found him before authorities came.
Police advise caution around waterways as heavy rainfall has caused rivers to swell throughout many regions of the country.
