A somber mood engulfed Kitui as the six children who died last week on Friday after they were knocked by a speeding Probox at Kyoani along Kibwezi-Kitui road were laid to rest.
Among the six children, three were from the same family, two from another neighboring family, and another family lost one child.
Three were schooling at Kyoani Primary School while the other three were students at Kyoani Secondary School.
The burial ceremony was attended by various leaders at Kyoani sub Chief’s office ground in Kitui south on Saturday.
There were calls for justice for the families.
The children were knocked down while crossing the road with the driver of the vehicle fleeing from the scene before later surrendering himself to Mutomo Police Station.
