The two died after their car slid from the rear of MV Harambee which was moving from the Likoni mainland to Mombasa Island.
An eye witness, Mlei Majaliwa who was on the same ferry said he had seen a woman and a boy in the vehicle.
“I saw the woman and a boy inside the car. She had started screaming and calling for help when the car started to reverse. I threw a lifesaver at them," said Majaliwa as quoted by Nation.
Police, on the other hand, said the car had four occupants.
