Earlier this month, May 4, 2022 in Muthaara village, Kiambu County, three children drowned in a pit left open by miners.
The three aged 7 to 10 where playing in the area when the tragedy occurred on Tuesday evening. Residents claim the boys were chasing a motorcycle tyre they were playing with.
The trench was allegedly excavated by dealers extracting machine-cut stones, and it has since overflowed due to the rainfall.
