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.
