The police have arrested a woman who is alleged to be mentally deranged over killing her two-year-old daughter and injuring her other daughter aged seven with a knife.
It is the screaming of the seven-year-old that alerted neighbours who rushed to the house where the incident happened and rescued her.
Doctors at the Maralal Referral Hospital are battling to save her life as she is said to be in a critical condition.
