News of families getting wiped out in tragic fires has been common in the recent past.
A few months back, a family from a village in Runyenjes, Embu county, was in sorrow after seven of their members succumbed to burn injuries following a mysterious fire on Sunday morning.
Sources indicate that the fire killed a whole nuclear family on the dawn of a Sunday, in their 3-bedroomed house built of timber.
The victims, comprising a father, mother, three children, and two grandchildren, were all burnt beyond recognition.
The incident was confirmed by police who rushed to the scene following reports from the locals.
