A family in Kehancha, Kuria West, Migori county is mourning two of its relatives who died two after allegedly consuming poisoned water as three others are admitted at the Kehancha Mother and Child Hospital.
According to Hassan Ibrahim Nyamohanga, her mother Milka Wansatu prepared a meal of omena and after the family had eaten they started feeling stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea.
They were rushed to Kehancha sub-county Hospital where the diagnosis revealed that they had taken poisoned water and not omena as they had alleged.
After a few hours, one of the sons died and his sister too followed the following day leaving the family in mourning, grief and pain as they contemplated on what to do.
Three other family members including a two-year-old son are still admitted at the Kehancha Hospital receiving treatment for the same alleged poisoned water.
The bodies of the two kin are reserved at the Kehancha sub-county hospital awaiting postmortem as the other three continue fighting for their lives.
Meanwhile, investigations are currently underway.
