A Bungoma quarry collapse has killed two men in Webuye as police investigate the incident. Authorities are also probing separate cases in Murang\u2019a and Migori counties, including a student death and a violent robbery. The Star reported the incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police said the accident happened on February 11 in a village in Webuye. Four men had entered a quarry to harvest murram for construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A wall of the site collapsed and trapped two of them. Police identified the victims as Evans Juma, 38, and Wycliffe Masika, 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two other men escaped without injuries. Rescuers retrieved the bodies and moved them to a mortuary for postmortem procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Western regional police commander Issa Mohamud said investigators are looking into the circumstances. Residents often visit such sites to obtain murram for building work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Murang\u2019a County, officials reported the death of an 18-year-old student from Mugumo Secondary School. The student collapsed while jogging at the school playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other students alerted staff and the school rushed him to Ithanga Health Centre. Health workers pronounced him dead on arrival, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
School officials notified the parents and moved the body to a mortuary. Authorities said a postmortem will help establish the cause of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also in Murang\u2019a, police are investigating the death of Peter Kago, 45. Police said unknown people assaulted him on January 31 in Kiriaini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kago later died in hospital nearly two weeks after the attack, police said. Investigators have not made any arrests and have not disclosed a motive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The body remains at Nyeri Provincial Hospital mortuary pending a postmortem examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Migori County, police reported an armed robbery in Kegonga that left a shopkeeper seriously injured. Witnesses said four attackers wore face masks and carried a rifle and swords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The assailants hacked the shopkeeper and fled with an unknown amount of money, police said. The victim suffered a deep cut on the right hand and is receiving treatment in hospital in stable condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police said they continue to search for the suspects, as residents report rising crime in the area.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
