By John Njue, Hellen Lennah, Vaati Mwandikwa
An epileptic girl was on Friday knocked by a reversing lorry to death. The incident occurred in the morning when a lorry was reversing near Osa vinya petrol station –Kyuso.

Screams from the girls attracted residents who came to her rescue but all was not well because the girl died on the spot.

The girl is said to have spend the night at the market at unknown place. She is said to have bought chapatti at a hotel for supper and was left with Kshs 20 which she was found with even during her time of death.

Due to her condition she couldn’t have realized that the lorry was reversing. More over the lorry is said to be non road worthy vehicle since it didn’t have prover side mirrors. It’s alleged that if the lorry had all the side mirrors in place it wouldn’t have knocked the girl

Eye witness alleges that the girl was knocked and then run over by the rear wheels at around the head and shoulder before the driver realized he had run over something.

The lorry is said to have been used for distributing beer ‘Keg’ to various bar owners in Kyuso as well as fetching water from the dams to construction sites

The deputy county commissioner gave a vehicle that took the body to the mortuary as the lorry was taken to the police station.

This accident happens recently after the father was brutally murdered as he was manning church crusade pulpits at kyuso market.

After the body was taken to the mortuary, people are speculating what might have caused the grandmother of the deceased to collect the blood remains put in her hand bags and go with it.
