Three siblings were on Tuesday evening burnt to death in a house fire at Turi Farm in Elburgon, Nakuru County.
The three; two girls and one boy aged 6, 5, and 4 years were left at home by their dad when the fire broke out.
According to their dad, he stepped out to get some milk leaving the kids asleep, unfortunately, he got a call informing him that his house was on fire.
The dad further noted that he had lit a jiko in a separate room, adding that the kids were alone in the house as he had separated with the wife a few years ago.
